Latest Quarter Info
In the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated solid top-line momentum, achieving a revenue increase of approximately 19.6% year-over-year and 3.5% quarter-over-quarter. Despite this revenue growth, profitability faced significant headwinds, as evidenced by a substantial year-over-year decline in net profit and earnings per share. While the company maintained a robust operating margin of 57%, the bottom line was pressured by elevated interest and depreciation expenses, which weighed on the profit before tax. The divergence between healthy revenue expansion and contracting net income suggests that rising operational or financial costs are currently offsetting the gains from sales volume. Consequently, the net profit margin remains under pressure compared to the previous year, reflecting a challenging environment for bottom-line conversion despite the consistent growth in core business activities.
