Latest Quarter Info
In the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated steady revenue momentum, recording growth of approximately 3.9% on a sequential basis and 3.7% year-over-year. Operational efficiency remained a highlight, with an operating margin of 20% supported by disciplined expense management. While operating profit reached 1,781, the bottom line experienced a mixed performance; net profit grew by 5.5% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting improved operational leverage, yet it declined by 4.8% compared to the same period last year. This divergence between sequential improvements and annual comparisons suggests a focus on stabilizing internal margins amid broader market conditions. With an earnings per share of 11.05, the company continues to balance steady top-line expansion with the challenges of maintaining year-over-year profitability growth in a competitive environment.
