Latest Quarter Info
In the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated steady revenue momentum with a 6.02% sequential increase and marginal year-over-year growth. While operating margins remain stable at 15%, the bottom line experienced a divergence between quarterly and annual performance. Net profit declined by 5.30% sequentially, yet showed a robust 22.56% improvement compared to the same period last year. This trend is mirrored in the earnings per share, which faced a quarterly contraction of 7.12% but maintained a strong 16.72% year-over-year gain. The current financial snapshot reflects a period of disciplined operational management, where annual profitability growth significantly outpaces the modest revenue expansion, despite short-term sequential volatility in net earnings.
