What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PSE 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 growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. 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 12.5% = 0.7% × 9.98 × 1.91
2026Q1 12.4% = 0.6% × 9.85 × 2.26

ROE is broadly flat at 12.4% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 0.6% -0.1pp Asset turnover: 9.85x -0.13x Leverage: 2.26x +0.35x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 0.56%, 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?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.71x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.12x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 32.9bn, roughly 11.0% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 19.4bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −185.1bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +13.4bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +152.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 3.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.1 days, DSO fell 5.0 days, and DPO fell 1.2 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Watchpoints

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle 13.3 days −3.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 7.7bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 7.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +6.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +2.9bn.

CFO / net income was 0.01x.

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 0.01x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.01x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
