What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DQC is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from -11.5% to 2.0% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+13.8pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 1.56%, rising 13.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 17.1pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 2.2pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 1.6pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 2.6pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Even though contribution decreased by 1.1pp, financial result still accounts for 80.7% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 198.3 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 0.35%, rising 9.7pp. That translates to 0.35 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 12.4pp and capital turnover rose 0.39x, while invested capital contracted by 144bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
NOPAT margin led the improvement, but the ROIC level has not yet cleared typical cost of capital — margin needs to hold in coming periods rather than being a one-period rebound.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 0.35% — 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. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.45x equity, net debt at 0.06x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 296.8bn, roughly 26.2% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 65.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 111.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 55.4 days, DSO fell 62.1 days, and DPO fell 6.0 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 198.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

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 0.06x and interest coverage only at 0.14x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 97.0% of total debt, cash equals 47.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 95.0bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 0.14x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 97.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

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 brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 13.8 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -102.3%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 0.3%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.56% after expanding 13.8pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 6.09x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -102.3% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
