What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PSC is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. When both scale and efficiency improve together, this is typically a sign of quality growth.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 1.1% to 6.2% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 0.87%, rising 0.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 0.6pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 1.1pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.9pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.4pp remained a drag).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 1.4 days — working capital needs watching.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 3.97%, rising 2.3pp. That translates to 3.97 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 0.5pp, with capital turnover fell 0.41x; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
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 3.97% — 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 balanced — liabilities at 1.32x equity, net debt at 0.84x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 25.2bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 1.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.2 days, DSO fell 0.3 days, and DPO fell 1.5 days.
Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +1.4 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DIO increased by +0.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.
Working Capital Efficiency

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 78.3bn due to capex of 93.0bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.84x and interest coverage only at 1.47x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 28.0% of total debt, cash equals 9.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 114.1bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 1.47x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Cash / debt stands at 9.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 17.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -68.7bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +51.4bn. Financing cash flow was positive +55.9bn.
CFO / net income was 1.99x.
After spending +93.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −78.3bn.

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 1.99x. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 4.0%.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.99x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
