What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PXT is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple 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

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 2.1% = 1.2% × 0.36 × 5.05
2026Q1 2.9% = 1.3% × 0.60 × 3.73

ROE rose from 2.1% to 2.9% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.3% +0.2pp Asset turnover: 0.60x +0.24x Leverage: 3.73x -1.33x

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 stands at 1.32%, 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.

Watchpoints

Other income is supporting margin

Other income accounts for 284.7% of PBT and lifted net margin by 4.3pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

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

For construction contractors, ROIC moves with backlog and project acceptance timing — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside working-capital cycles.

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is typical for construction contractors — liabilities at 3.40x equity, net debt at 0.10x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 33.9bn, roughly 13.4% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 2.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −5.4bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +17.3bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −14.2bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 167.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 65.0 days, DSO fell 258.5 days, and DPO fell 156.4 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

For construction contractors, DSO/DIO/DPO/CCC can be distorted by project progress, work-in-progress receivables, and milestone acceptance timing — these metrics should be read alongside developer payment cycles.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 267.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 391.7 days −258.5 days
Inventory 145.5 days −65.0 days
Payables 269.5 days −156.4 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 267.7 days −167.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 39.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 9.3bn.

Leverage for construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 1.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 0.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +1.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +2.2bn.

CFO / net income was -0.55x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 2.7%. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 2.7% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.55x.
