Curious how numbers become stories that shape markets? Explore Community Narratives SEHK:2192 Earnings & Revenue History as at Mar 2026 ## 52.1% net margin points to high profitability - Over the last 12 months Medlive converted C¥334.3 million of net income from C¥642.2 million of revenue, which lines up with a 52.1% net margin compared with 56.4% in the prior year. - Bulls often highlight the 37.5% per year earnings growth over five years, and the current 52.1% margin still supports that story. However, the most recent 6.1% one year earnings growth and the step down from a 56.4% margin show that profitability is not moving in a straight line. - The trailing twelve month EPS of C¥0.456 is above each individual half year EPS in the table, which supports the bullish focus on earnings power, while the lower margin points to some pressure on how that profit is being earned. - For a reader, this mix means the bullish angle of strong multi year growth is backed by solid margins. At the same time, the recent slowdown and margin shift are concrete data points that bulls need to factor in. ## P/E of 15.7x sits below industry - Medlive trades on a trailing P/E of 15.7x, which is below the Asian Healthcare Services industry average of 22.6x and below the peer average of 17.1x, with a DCF fair value of HK$8.31 compared with the current HK$8.05 share price. - Supporters of a bullish stance argue that a lower P/E and a share price just under the HK$8.31 DCF fair value leave room for the market to re rate the stock. However, the recent 6.1% earnings growth rate compared with the 37.5% five year pace shows that slower growth could also be part of why the valuation is below peers. - The combination of a 52.1% net margin and forecast earnings and revenue growth of around 11.2% and 19.3% a year is what bullish investors point to when they say the current P/E looks conservative. - At the same time, critics can point to the one year growth slowdown and margin drift from 56.4% to 52.1% as reasons why the market is not paying industry level multiples yet.

Explore Community Narratives. ## 3.62% dividend brings cash flow questions - The stock offers a 3.62% dividend yield, and that payout is not well covered by free cash flow according to the latest twelve month figures. - Bears focus on the combination of a 3.62% yield that lacks strong free cash flow backing and a margin move from 56.4% to 52.1%, arguing that these numbers make the payout look less robust even though earnings themselves have grown 6.1% over the last year. - What stands out is that net income of C¥334.3 million is healthy on its own, but the cash coverage concern means shareholders are relying on continued strong operations to support the dividend. - For cautious investors, this creates a clear tension between enjoying income today and keeping an eye on how free cash flow and margins evolve alongside the forecast 11.2% earnings growth. ## Next Steps Don't just look at this quarter; the real story is in the long-term trend.
