What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BAX 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 12.5% = 35.7% × 0.10 × 3.43
2026Q1 17.5% = 31.6% × 0.17 × 3.30

ROE rose from 12.5% to 17.5% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 31.6% -4.0pp Asset turnover: 0.17x +0.07x Leverage: 3.30x -0.13x

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 fell to 31.62%, losing 4.0pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 14.1pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 12.9pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 4.2pp).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

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. Capital structure is typical for the real estate sector — liabilities at 2.26x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.05x equity.

Development inventory ended the period at 85.4bn, about 11.8% of total assets — reflecting projects in progress awaiting handover.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1.8bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +10.6bn
Inventories were broadly stable → neutral CFO:
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −8.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 329.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 304.4 days, DSO fell 31.9 days, and DPO fell 6.6 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Working capital metrics in this industry should be read alongside business model specifics — DSO/DIO/DPO/CCC can be distorted by operational factors not reflected in raw numbers.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 365.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables 7.2 days −31.9 days
Inventory 374.6 days −304.4 days
Payables 16.5 days −6.6 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 365.3 days −329.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 44.7bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

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

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Leverage should be read alongside project structure, regulated assets, or industry-specific capital recovery.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 44.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -10.3bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +34.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +20.3bn.

CFO / net income was 1.37x.

After spending +20.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +32.5bn.

FCF and CFO in this industry should be read alongside investment cycles and business model specifics.

Investment Takeaway

The business does not yet provide a clear enough conclusion — not due to lack of data, but because the industry's nature makes many indicators prone to cyclical distortion. The reasonable reading is to keep the thesis in wait-for-confirmation mode. The brighter spot is balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.05x. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 27.4%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 4.0 pp.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.05x of equity.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.37x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 27.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 31.62% after a 4.0pp decline versus the same period last year.
