What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PPT is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — profit is at an all-time high. 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

2025Q1 4.8% = 0.2% × 8.42 × 2.52
2026Q1 5.9% = 0.3% × 9.24 × 2.50

ROE rose from 4.8% to 5.9% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 0.3% +0.0pp Asset turnover: 9.24x +0.82x Leverage: 2.50x -0.02x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 0.25%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 2.94%, rising 0.8pp. That translates to 2.94 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is capital turnover rose 1.43x — the business is generating more revenue per unit of capital, with NOPAT margin steady; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

Capital turnover improved — a positive signal on asset efficiency, but with ROIC still low, NOPAT margin also needs to lift in coming periods to produce meaningful returns.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 2.94% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.09x and interest coverage only at 0.75x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 19.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 278.9bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.09x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.75x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow

Post-investment cash flow was negative +11.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +17.6bn.

CFO / net income was -2.11x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -2.11x. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 2.9%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -2.11x.

Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
