Latest Quarter Info
In the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated strong revenue momentum with a 26.5% sequential increase, supported by a 6.2% year-over-year growth. While the operating margin remained stable at 23%, the bottom line reflects a significant divergence between quarterly and annual performance. Net profit surged 123.5% on a quarter-over-quarter basis, indicating a sharp recovery in operational efficiency or cost management. However, this recovery is contrasted by a 74.9% year-over-year decline in net profit, suggesting that current profitability levels remain well below the corresponding period from the previous year. The combination of high interest expenses and depreciation continues to exert pressure on pre-tax earnings, resulting in a modest net profit margin. Investors should note that while the sequential improvement in earnings per share is substantial, the year-over-year contraction highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining historical profitability benchmarks.
