What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CMX is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 6.7% = 3.9% × 0.70 × 2.41
2026Q1 9.0% = 4.7% × 0.73 × 2.59

ROE rose from 6.7% to 9.0% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.

Net margin: 4.7% +0.8pp Asset turnover: 0.73x +0.03x Leverage: 2.59x +0.18x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 4.75%, rising 0.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.0pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.8pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.7pp).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 43.8 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 3.94%, rising 1.3pp. That translates to 3.94 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 1.5pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 562bn.

NOPAT margin is the main cushion preventing ROIC from slipping as invested capital keeps expanding — the quality of this improvement depends on whether margin holds once the new capital is fully deployed.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 3.94% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 3.94% +1.3pp
NOPAT Margin 4.80% +1.5pp
Capital Turnover 0.82x +0.03x
Average Invested Capital 4,004.3bn +562.2bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.74x equity, net debt at 1.37x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 2,416.6bn, roughly 50.4% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 43.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 70.7 days, DSO fell 20.2 days, and DPO rose 6.7 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 340.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +70.7 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Inventory 311.5 days +70.7 days
Payables 38.7 days +6.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 340.6 days +43.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 265.2bn due to capex of 73.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.37x and interest coverage only at 0.82x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 72.8% of total debt, cash equals 3.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,543.1bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.37x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.82x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Interest Coverage 0.82x +0.25x

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -339.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -138.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +477.6bn. Financing cash flow was positive +383.9bn.

CFO / net income was -1.66x.

After spending +73.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −265.2bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 192.0bn −802.6bn
Cash Capex 73.2bn +61.5bn
FCF TTM −265.2bn −864.1bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -1.66x. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 3.9%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -1.66x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
