Latest Quarter Info
The latest quarterly snapshot for March 2026 indicates a positive revenue momentum, with both quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and year-over-year (YoY) growth. However, profitability trends present a mixed signal. While operating profit remains robust, net profit has seen a decline on both QoQ and YoY bases. The operating margin has remained stable at 15.0%, suggesting consistent operational efficiency. The discrepancy between revenue growth and net profit decline warrants further investigation into expense management and other non-operating factors. The EPS figures also reflect this profitability dip, showing a decrease compared to the previous quarter and the same period last year.
