What Is Changing

On a Năm 2025 basis, CDG has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 10.9bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

FCF TTM +7.7bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a brighter picture at the headline-earnings level, but what deserves a closer look right now is the quality of that improvement. Margins and net profit may look better, but if financial income, other income, or unusually low taxes contribute too much, this is not yet a clean enough growth base to extrapolate further. Even so, the earnings mix still warrants monitoring in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 33.3%.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 4.50x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 33.3% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
