TTM earnings growth runs at 37.2%

• Over the last twelve months, net income reached about $1.6 billion on $75.1 billion of revenue, lifting net margin to 2.2% from 1.9% year over year.
• Consensus narrative highlights surging demand for PCs, AI infrastructure, and services as growth drivers, and these TTM figures
  • align with the story of Lenovo gaining from AI servers and data center demand because revenue has climbed from $59.4 billion to $75.1 billion over the last five TTM snapshots
  • but also show margins are still low at 2.2%, so profitability remains sensitive if those higher growth segments do not scale as quickly as expected.

Valuation sits well below DCF fair value

• With the share price at HK$10.03 versus a DCF fair value of HK$27.21 and a P/E of 9.8 times against industry at 22.8 times, the stock screens as notably discounted.
• Consensus narrative argues that expanding services and AI driven infrastructure should support higher margins and long term competitiveness, and the current discount
  • heavily supports the bullish case that investors are not paying full price for the forecast 7.8% annual earnings growth, especially given the TTM earnings jump of 37.2%
  • yet also leaves room for bears to say the low multiple reflects caution around how far margins can rise from today’s 2.2% level.

Bulls point to Lenovo’s margin improvements and AI driven growth, while the current P/E discount raises the question of how long the value gap can last before expectations reset or results disappoint. 🐂 Lenovo Group Bull Case

Dividend cash coverage and insider selling

• The dividend yield sits at 3.86%, but the payout is flagged as not well covered by free cash flow and there has been notable insider selling over the past three months.
• Bears focus on this weaker cash coverage and recent selling activity as signals to be cautious, and the operating backdrop gives them some support
  • because even with net income of about $1.6 billion on $75.1 billion of revenue, the 2.2% margin leaves less room to comfortably fund both R&D and dividends
  • and the reliance on cost advantages and cyclical PC demand in the consensus narrative means any pressure on hardware pricing could make that cash coverage issue more visible.

Skeptics warn that a 3.86% yield paired with weak free cash flow coverage and insider selling could matter more if revenue growth slows from the forecast 6.6% pace. 🐻 Lenovo Group Bear Case
