TTM profit of CN¥77m despite 1H loss

• Across the last 12 months, net income excluding extra items was CN¥76.982 million on CN¥584.693 million of revenue, even though 1H 2025 on its own showed a net loss of CN¥28.372 million on CN¥300.562 million of revenue.
• What stands out for a bullish view is that trailing 12 month basic EPS of CN¥0.050831 remains positive after earlier losses. However, it now sits alongside a fresh half year loss and a CN¥38.3 million one off charge, so optimism about a sustained turnaround has to account for this mix of profit over the year and pressure in the most recent period.
  • Supporters pointing to the CN¥99.305 million net income in 2H 2024 and CN¥105.354 million net income for that half can reference a clear profitable stretch, but the swing back to a CN¥28.372 million loss in 1H 2025 signals that earnings have not settled into a steady pattern yet.
  • The five year record of earnings declining at about 4.8% per year also sits in the background, so the recent 12 month profit is just one data point in a longer series of ups and downs rather than a clear new phase.

Premium 16.2x P/E against peers

• The shares trade on a trailing P/E of 16.2x, compared with a peer average of 10.5x and an Asian Industrials industry average of 12.5x, so the market is paying a higher multiple for Beijing Beida Jade Bird Universal Sci-Tech at a current share price of HK$0.94.
• Critics highlight that this premium multiple sits alongside a five year earnings trend that declined by about 4.8% per year and trailing results that include a CN¥38.3 million one off loss. This means the valuation is higher than peers even though the long term earnings record and recent adjustments do not obviously point to stronger performance.
  • The return to profitability over the last 12 months, with CN¥76.982 million of net income excluding extra items, helps explain why some investors might accept a higher P/E, yet it does not erase the multi year decline in earnings.
  • Because there are no provided forecasts for revenue or earnings relative to the Hong Kong market, this premium is being set without clear forward growth benchmarks, so holders need to judge whether the recent profit and business mix justify paying above peer and industry P/E levels.

When a stock trades at a higher P/E while earnings have a mixed track record, it helps to see how other investors frame the trade off between recent profit and the longer term trend, which is exactly what you get by reading through the Curious how numbers become stories that shape markets?

One off CN¥38.3m loss distorts trend

• The trailing 12 month figures include a CN¥38.3 million one off loss, which affects how cleanly investors can read the CN¥76.982 million of net income and CN¥0.050831 of basic EPS over that period.
• What is most important for a bearish angle is that even after adjusting for one off effects, the company still shows a five year pattern of earnings declining around 4.8% a year, and the latest half year loss of CN¥28.372 million on CN¥300.562 million of revenue reinforces the idea that volatility in profit is not just a one time event.
  • The CN¥6.049 million loss in 1H 2024 followed by CN¥105.354 million of net income in 2H 2024 and then a CN¥28.372 million loss in 1H 2025 gives a run of results that jumps between loss and profit rather than forming a steady climb.
  • For readers weighing this against the current P/E of 16.2x, the combination of a declining multi year earnings trend and reliance on a strong 2H 2024 to keep the trailing period profitable is exactly what many cautious investors focus on when they question paying a premium multiple.
