Margins Climb To 19.7 Percent

• Net profit margin over the last 12 months reached 19.7 percent, up from 16.2 percent a year ago, on trailing revenue of about HK$1,533 million and net income of roughly HK$303 million.
• What stands out for the bullish view is that profit growth is outpacing sales, with earnings up 19.5 percent year over year while revenue grew around 5.5 percent per year.
  • That mix of faster profit growth and a higher margin directly supports the idea of stronger earnings quality than a simple top line snapshot would suggest.
  • At the same time, the more modest revenue trend versus the wider Hong Kong market means bulls are leaning heavily on efficiency gains rather than rapid sales expansion.

TTM EPS Outpaces Half Year Pattern

• Trailing 12 month basic EPS of HK$0.1519 sits noticeably above the last three reported half year EPS prints of HK$0.0707, HK$0.0808 and HK$0.0712, showing that the combined last four quarters are stronger than any single recent half on its own.
• Supporters of a more optimistic stance point to this multi period improvement, with EPS compounding at about 12.1 percent per year over five years and net income over the latest three half years rising from HK$140.3 million to HK$160.5 million and then HK$142.0 million.
  • That pattern of higher trailing EPS compared with individual half year snapshots backs the argument that the business has built a sturdier earnings base rather than relying on a one off spike.
  • However, the small step down in net income from HK$160.5 million in H2 2025 to HK$142.0 million in H1 2026 is a reminder that short term swings still matter inside that longer term growth story.

Valuation Discount Versus DCF Fair Value

• At a share price of HK$1.29 and a trailing P E of 8.5 times, the stock trades at a notable gap to the stated DCF fair value of about HK$2.55 and below both peer and industry averages, with peers on roughly 8.9 times and the wider Hong Kong pharmaceuticals space nearer 13.5 times.
• From a bullish angle, this valuation setup is seen as an opportunity because the combination of nearly 19.5 percent earnings growth and a 19.7 percent net margin is being priced at a discount.
  • That contrast between improving profitability and a roughly 49.5 percent gap to the DCF estimate is exactly what value focused investors look for when margins and earnings have strengthened.
  • Yet the forecast that revenue may grow slower than the broader Hong Kong market and an unstable dividend history explain why some investors are less willing to close that discount quickly.
