What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PLX posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. What remains unclear is which side will dominate in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 7.4% = 0.8% × 3.45 × 2.69
2026Q1 7.2% = 0.6% × 3.67 × 3.19

ROE is broadly flat at 7.2% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 0.6% -0.2pp Asset turnover: 3.67x +0.22x Leverage: 3.19x +0.50x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 0.62%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC stands at 5.97%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 5.97 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin steady, but capital turnover rose 1.85x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.

Overall ROIC is flat while internal components are moving — watch which side becomes dominant in coming periods.

ROIC 5.97% +0.3pp
NOPAT Margin 0.61% −0.1pp
Capital Turnover 9.83x +1.85x
Average Invested Capital 34,723.4bn +12.2bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 1.90x equity, net debt at 0.03x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 13,861.9bn, roughly 16.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 14,336.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −7,530.3bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −20,254.5bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +42,121.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 5.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 6.6 days, DSO fell 0.4 days, and DPO rose 12.1 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Watchpoints

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +6.6 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 16.5 days −0.4 days
Inventory 29.5 days +6.6 days
Payables 45.6 days +12.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 0.5 days −5.9 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.03x and interest coverage at 2.05x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 94.1% of total debt, cash equals 91.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 11,005.1bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 94.1% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.03x −0.31x
Interest Coverage 2.05x −0.15x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 3,990.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -7,319.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +3,328.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +928.9bn.

CFO / net income was 9.27x.

After spending +2,830.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +13,085.3bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 15,915.9bn +15,071.9bn
Cash Capex 2,830.6bn +937.3bn
FCF TTM +13,085.3bn +14,134.6bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 9.27x. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 9.27x.
