What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CMX is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 6.7% to 9.0% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 4.75%, rising 0.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.0pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.8pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.7pp).
Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 43.8 days — working capital needs watching.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 3.94%, rising 1.3pp. That translates to 3.94 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 1.5pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 562bn.
NOPAT margin is the main cushion preventing ROIC from slipping as invested capital keeps expanding — the quality of this improvement depends on whether margin holds once the new capital is fully deployed.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 3.94% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.74x equity, net debt at 1.37x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 2,416.6bn, roughly 50.4% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 43.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 70.7 days, DSO fell 20.2 days, and DPO rose 6.7 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 340.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DIO increased by +70.7 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 265.2bn due to capex of 73.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.37x and interest coverage only at 0.82x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 72.8% of total debt, cash equals 3.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,543.1bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.37x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.82x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -339.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -138.6bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +477.6bn. Financing cash flow was positive +383.9bn.
CFO / net income was -1.66x.
After spending +73.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −265.2bn.
Cash Conversion

Investment Takeaway
The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -1.66x. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 3.9%.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -1.66x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
