Five-Year EPS Growth vs. Recent Loss
- Over the past five years, EPS grew at an average rate of 22.9% per year, yet FY 2025 included a Q4 net income loss of US$53.6 million and a basic EPS loss of US$0.42.
- What stands out for the bullish view is that this long run of 22.9% annual EPS growth sits beside a year where earnings turned negative, so:
- Bulls point to trailing twelve month net income of US$182.6 million and basic EPS of US$1.49 as support for earnings quality even with the recent loss.
- The tension is that recent negative earnings mean the strong five year growth rate cannot be treated as a straight line, so bulls need that historical record to matter more than the latest setback.
Revenue Near US$96 Million With Margin Shifts
- On a trailing twelve month basis, HASI booked total revenue of US$96.0 million and net income of US$182.6 million, while quarterly revenue over FY 2025 ranged from US$4.9 million to US$34.0 million.
- Analysts who lean bullish highlight that trailing net profit margins are higher than the prior year, and this aligns with the following points:
- TTM revenue holding close to the US$92.4 million to US$140.2 million range seen across the last six trailing data points while net income stayed within US$182.6 million to US$305.9 million.
- The contrast is that earnings were negative over the most recent single year compared with the five year growth trend, so stronger margins in the trailing period do not remove the need to watch how consistent profitability really is.
P/E Premium and DCF Gap
- The stock trades at a P/E of 29.7x versus 18.5x for the US Diversified Financial industry and 2.5x for peers, while the share price of US$42.47 sits about 19.9% below a DCF fair value estimate of US$53.04.
- Critics focus on the elevated P/E, and the numbers give both sides something to point to:
- Bears argue that paying 29.7x earnings is a stretch compared with the 18.5x industry level, especially when operating cash flow does not comfortably cover debt and the 4% dividend is not well supported by earnings or free cash flow.
- Supporters counter that forecasts of roughly 11.9% annual earnings growth and revenue growth of about 7.3% per year, together with the gap between the US$42.47 share price and the US$53.04 DCF fair value, suggest the current valuation is not solely about a high multiple.
