What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PRC posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple 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 6.1% = 1.6% × 2.03 × 1.81
2026Q1 3.0% = 0.8% × 1.48 × 2.45

ROE fell from 6.1% to 3.0% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 0.8% -0.8pp Asset turnover: 1.48x -0.55x Leverage: 2.45x +0.64x

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 narrowed to 0.82%, falling 0.8pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 0.4pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.6pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.0pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 2.0pp remained a drag).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Cash Conversion Cycle 1.7 days −38.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 20.6bn due to capex of 40.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.32x and interest coverage only at 0.39x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 6.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 50.7bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.32x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.39x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Net Debt / Equity 1.32x +1.05x
Interest Coverage 0.39x −4.42x
Cash / Debt 6.4% −17.7pp

CFO / NI 12.01x +5.46x

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -1.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -84.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +85.7bn. Financing cash flow was positive +89.4bn.

CFO / net income was 12.01x.

After spending +40.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −20.6bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 19.6bn +5.4bn
Cash Capex 40.2bn +22.4bn
FCF TTM −20.6bn −17.0bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is balanced but not yet fully stable — some components are moving the right way while others still need monitoring. This is a state to keep watching, with not enough signal to tilt the thesis either way. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 28.1%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.39x.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 12.01x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 28.1% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.39x.
