▼▼ Declining sharply
TTM · Applied to: EPS, ROE, ROA, Net Margin, Asset Turnover, Debt/Equity
What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VSA is declining across multiple metrics versus the same period, suggesting current pressure is not coming from just one side — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. More notably, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the earnings quality picture needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 6.5% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 2.07%, 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.
Profitability trend

Watchpoints
Margin support from financial result remains high (57.7% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.
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.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.89x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.55x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 28.2bn of cash, mainly because of lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.
Working Capital Drivers

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 62.7bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.55x and interest coverage at 7.60x.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 62.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -34.9bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +27.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +19.5bn.
CFO / net income was -0.53x.
After spending +2.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −14.0bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with self-funded cash generation remains weak remaining the main constraint. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 56.1%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.55x.
Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.55x of equity.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 56.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.53x.
Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 14.0bn.
