What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, NSC posted slightly higher profit versus the same period, but the increase is thin and not yet paired with clear improvement in revenue or margins. The point still to be proven is whether this profit level holds without further revenue momentum.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 14.9% = 9.1% × 1.00 × 1.64
2026Q1 15.1% = 10.5% × 0.87 × 1.66

ROE is broadly flat at 15.1% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 10.5% +1.4pp Asset turnover: 0.87x -0.13x Leverage: 1.66x +0.02x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 10.50%, rising 1.4pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 1.2pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 0.2pp (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 0.4pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.0pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 11.13%, falling 0.9pp. That translates to 11.13 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Although NOPAT margin rose 1.1pp, capital turnover fell 0.22x still pulled ROIC lower, while invested capital rose by 229bn.

Pressure came from turnover — added capital has not been absorbed quickly enough, a typical investment-cycle dynamic.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 11.13% −0.9pp
NOPAT Margin 10.25% +1.1pp
Capital Turnover 1.09x −0.22x
Average Invested Capital 2,112.8bn +229.4bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.62x equity, net debt at 0.28x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 796.5bn, roughly 30.5% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 254.1bn 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: +74.9bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +243.2bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −64.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 35.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 30.8 days, DSO fell 0.3 days, and DPO fell 4.5 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 245.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +30.8 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 31.5 days −0.3 days
Inventory 231.1 days +30.8 days
Payables 16.6 days −4.5 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 245.9 days +35.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.28x and interest coverage at 5.23x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 34.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 697.4bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.28x −0.10x
Interest Coverage 5.23x −1.64x
Cash / Debt 34.9% +9.2pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 2.11x +3.09x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -73.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -147.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +220.7bn. Financing cash flow was positive +324.2bn.

CFO / net income was 2.11x.

After spending +24.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +468.2bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 492.6bn +706.4bn
Cash Capex 24.4bn −98.9bn
FCF TTM +468.2bn +805.2bn

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 1.4 pp. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 246 days.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 10.50% after expanding 1.4pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 245.9 days.
