What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CQT is showing some signs of improvement versus the same period, but the current picture is not yet broad enough to confirm a stronger trend — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. The point still to be proven is whether this improvement broadens out in coming periods.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 2.07%, rising 0.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 1.1pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.2pp).

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC currently stands at 3.64%. Track NOPAT margin and capital turnover to assess capital efficiency.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 3.64% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 3.64%
NOPAT Margin 2.09%
Capital Turnover 1.75x +0.25x
Average Invested Capital 351.9bn −53.4bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.68x equity, net debt at 0.22x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 17.3bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +52.4bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +2.4bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −37.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 3.9 days, DSO fell 14.0 days, and DPO fell 15.3 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Receivables 23.3 days −14.0 days
Inventory 27.0 days −3.9 days

Cash Conversion Cycle -10.8 days −2.6 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.22x and interest coverage only at 1.07x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 84.4% of total debt, cash equals 18.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 70.0bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.07x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 84.4% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.22x −0.28x
Interest Coverage 1.07x +0.45x

After spending +13.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +79.1bn.

FCF TTM +79.1bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 4.4%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 3.6%.

Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
