Profit Margins Drift Off Five Year Trend

  • Over the last 12 months, Hudson converted US$236.8 million of revenue into US$22.7 million of net income, which works out to a 9.6% net margin compared with 12.5% in the prior year.
  • Analysts' consensus view sees Hudson as a beneficiary of tighter HFC supply and circular economy trends. However, the drop in trailing margin to 9.6% means investors will likely watch how well those regulatory and reclamation tailwinds translate into profitability as markets and refrigerant technologies continue to evolve.

LTM EPS Slips While Multi Year Growth Stays Modest

  • Trailing twelve month basic EPS is US$0.52 at Q3 FY 2025, compared with US$0.81 at Q2 FY 2024 and US$0.54 at Q4 FY 2024, while the company’s five year earnings growth rate is reported at about 0.8% per year.
  • Consensus narrative points to Hudson’s scale and balance sheet as supports for stable long term earnings. At the same time, the move from US$0.81 to US$0.52 of trailing EPS and the modest 0.8% annualized growth rate give a more measured picture of how quickly those longer term benefits have fed through to per share results so far.

Low P/E And DCF Gap Draw Value Focus

  • At a share price of US$6.35 and trailing EPS of US$0.52, the stock trades on an 11.6x P/E, which is below the US Trade Distributors average of 22.6x and the 42x peer average. It also sits under the US$8.82 DCF fair value and a US$9.25 analyst price target.
  • What stands out for the bullish narrative is that regulatory and circular economy themes are seen as long term demand drivers. At the same time, the current 11.6x P/E and the gap to both the US$8.82 DCF fair value and the US$9.25 analyst target are being weighed against the recent step down in margins and earnings, rather than a straight line from those themes to higher profitability.
On these numbers, bulls arguing the long term refrigerant reclamation story is intact still have to square the lower 9.6% margin and softer trailing EPS with the valuation gap suggested by both DCF and analyst targets, which is where the real debate around Hudson sits right now. 📊 Read the what the Community is saying about Hudson Technologies.
