Latest Quarter Info
For the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated steady revenue growth, posting a 3.28% increase sequentially and a 5.69% rise year-over-year. Operating performance remained solid with a 23% margin, reflecting stable cost management relative to top-line expansion. While operating profit provided a consistent foundation, the bottom line saw significant acceleration, with net profit and earnings per share surging by over 120% on a year-over-year basis. This substantial divergence between operating growth and net profitability is largely attributable to a strong contribution from other income, which bolstered pre-tax earnings. Overall, the snapshot indicates a healthy core business supported by robust non-operating gains, leading to a marked improvement in shareholder earnings compared to the same period last year.
