What Is Changing

On a TTM 2025Q4 basis, POM has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 87.9% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 19.4 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at -0.97x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -38.45% after expanding 19.4pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 88.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.26x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -0.97x.
