The trailing net profit margin decreased to 8.3% from 9.6% last year, raising concerns about future earnings growth. Analysts predict revenue growth of 3.9% and earnings growth of 6.4% annually, but high debt and a weak dividend history pose risks. The stock trades at a trailing P/E of 9.3x, slightly above the industry average, but bears caution against slower growth and margin compression." datetime: "2026-03-21T22:17:33.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280032227.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280032227.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280032227.md) --- # Samsonite Group SEHK 1910 Margin Compression Tests Bullish Earnings Narrative Samsonite Group (SEHK:1910) has wrapped up FY 2025 with fourth quarter revenue of US$963.3 million and basic EPS of US$0.07, while trailing twelve month revenue came in at about US$3.5 billion with EPS of roughly US$0.21.

See what the community is saying about Samsonite Group SEHK:1910 Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Mar 2026 ## Margins Ease Back From 9.6% To 8.3% - Trailing net profit margin stands at 8.3% compared with 9.6% a year earlier, alongside trailing net income of US$289 million on US$3.5b of revenue. - Consensus narrative expects higher margins over time, yet the recent step down raises questions: - Analysts see margins moving from about 8.5% to 9.0% in three years. The latest trailing margin of 8.3% points to recent compression instead of expansion. - Revenue is forecast to grow about 3.9% a year and earnings about 6.4% a year. Any further margin pressure could make that earnings path harder to achieve on current sales trends. ## EPS Trend Slower Than Five Year History - Trailing EPS sits around US$0.21, with quarterly EPS in FY 2025 ranging between US$0.04 and US$0.07, set against a five year record where reported earnings grew 53.4% per year. - Bulls point to future EPS growth, but the current pattern is more muted: - Bullish analysts are looking for earnings to climb from roughly US$294.4 million to US$460.2 million by 2028. Trailing net income is US$289 million, which is close to the starting point and not yet moving toward that target in the provided data. - Bulls also expect margins to rise to 10.9%. The current 8.3% margin shows the business is some distance from that level, so the recent numbers do not yet heavily support the bullish margin story. Have a look at how that optimistic case is built around the numbers in more detail with **🐂 Samsonite Group Bull Case** ## Valuation Sits Between DCF And Targets - At HK$15.21, the stock trades on a trailing P/E of 9.3x, slightly above the Hong Kong Luxury industry at 9.0x, below peers at 11.3x, below the wider Hong Kong market at 11.7x, and above a DCF fair value of HK$14.73. - Bears argue the recent run and softer growth profile could limit upside from here: - Revenue is forecast to grow 3.9% a year and earnings 6.4% a year, both below Hong Kong market forecasts of 8.3% and 11.9% a year respectively. This lines up with a cautious view on how fast the business can grow into a higher multiple. - The company carries high debt and an unstable dividend track record. If growth stays below the market while leverage remains elevated, the bear narrative that the P/E could drift toward more conservative levels is not fully challenged by the current data. Skeptics focus on these gaps between price, DCF fair value, and slower growth when they outline the cautious case for Samsonite, which you can see unpacked in **🐻 Samsonite Group Bear Case** ## Next Steps To see how these results tie into long-term growth, risks, and valuation, check out the full range of community narratives for Samsonite Group on Simply Wall St. Add the company to your watchlist or portfolio so you'll be alerted when the story evolves.
