Latest Quarter Info
For the quarter ending December 2025, the company reported revenue of 66,521, reflecting a solid year-over-year growth of approximately 13.9%. While top-line momentum remains positive, the bottom line faced significant pressure, with net profit declining by 45.1% year-over-year and 56.8% quarter-over-quarter. This divergence between revenue and profitability is largely attributable to non-operating factors, including negative other income and ongoing depreciation and interest obligations. Although the operating margin of 12% indicates a stable core business performance, the elevated tax rate and external financial expenses have constrained net earnings. Consequently, the earnings per share have mirrored the net profit contraction, highlighting a period where operational output remains steady, yet bottom-line results are heavily impacted by non-core financial headwinds.
