High Templar Tech (HTT) has put up a punchy set of FY 2025 numbers, with Q3 revenue of C¥8.5 million, basic EPS of C¥2.55 and trailing 12 month EPS of C¥4.86 backed by very large year over year earnings growth and an 18% net profit margin. The company has seen quarterly revenue shift from C¥55.0 million in Q3 2024 to C¥8.5 million in Q3 2025, while basic EPS moved from C¥0.73 to C¥2.55 over the same stretch. This sets up a results season where the key question is how durable this earnings profile and margin strength really are.

With the headline figures on the table, the next step is to line them up against the main stories investors tell about High Templar Tech, and see which narratives hold up to the numbers and which start to look a bit stretched.

Trailing Earnings Surge Against Five-Year Slide

• On a trailing 12 month basis, High Templar Tech reports Basic EPS of C¥4.86 and Net Income of C¥805.41 million, compared with a 5 year pattern where earnings declined by an average of 30.7% per year.
• What stands out is how this very large trailing 12 month earnings improvement sits next to that longer term decline, which challenges a bearish view that the business has only been losing ground, because:
  • Recent trailing earnings growth is described as very large at 1,863.5% year over year, while earlier years point to persistent profit weakness.
  • The current net profit margin of 18% is higher than the prior year, which contrasts with the bearish focus on longer term deterioration.

Quarterly Mix Shifts As Profit Stays High

• Within FY 2025, revenue moves from C¥25.79 million in Q1 to C¥3.49 million in Q2 and C¥8.52 million in Q3, while Net Income over those quarters sits at C¥150.11 million, C¥311.76 million and C¥409.90 million respectively.
• Bears often point to earnings volatility as a concern, yet the 2025 pattern, where Q2 and Q3 profits remain high despite lower reported revenue than some 2024 quarters, raises a few questions for that bearish angle:
  • Q3 2025 Net Income of C¥409.90 million compares with a Q4 2024 loss of C¥66.36 million, so the shift in profitability is quite stark within a short period.
  • Trailing 12 month revenue of C¥90.04 million is below the C¥227.99 million level seen in the 2024 Q3 trailing set, while trailing Net Income still climbs from C¥41.02 million to C¥805.41 million, which makes the profit trend look very different from the revenue trend.

Low 3.9x P/E Versus Market And Peers

• High Templar Tech is trading on a trailing P/E of 3.9x, which is below the US market at 18.7x, below the US Consumer Finance industry average of 8.1x, and below a peer average of 7.2x.
• Supporters of a more bullish read on the stock often point to that low multiple combined with the recent profit rebound, and the numbers give that view some clear talking points as well as some tension:
  • Very large trailing 12 month earnings growth of 1,863.5% and an 18% net profit margin offer a strong backdrop to a 3.9x P/E. Some value oriented investors may see this as unusually low for this profit level.
  • At the same time, the record of earnings falling 30.7% per year over five years reminds investors that this cheap trailing multiple is being applied to a business with a history of profit decline.
