What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PVE is losing revenue quickly, though margins have not been hit proportionally yet. More notably, 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

2025Q1 10.1% = 2.6% × 0.23 × 17.22
2026Q1 -3.2% = 2.1% × 0.21 × -7.37

ROE fell from 10.1% to -3.2% — all three components weakened, with leverage being the main drag.

Net margin: 2.1% -0.5pp Asset turnover: 0.21x -0.02x Leverage: -7.37x -24.60x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 2.10%, falling 0.5pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 12.2pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 8.3pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 6.3pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.9pp remained a drag).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 2.10% −0.5pp
Gross Margin 25.86% −12.2pp
SG&A / Revenue 19.12% −8.3pp
Non-core / Revenue -2.66% +4.4pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 138.1% of PBT and lifted net margin by 4.4pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC fell to -7.18%, losing 11.4pp. That translates to -7.18 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Although capital turnover rose 7.63x, NOPAT margin narrowed 3.9pp still pulled ROIC lower, while invested capital contracted by 147bn.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently -7.18% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC -7.18% −11.4pp
NOPAT Margin -0.80% −3.9pp
Capital Turnover 8.99x +7.63x
Average Invested Capital 18.9bn −147.4bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at -8.40x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 1.09x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 630.1bn, roughly 77.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 148.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +6.7bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +137.2bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +4.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 164.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 65.3 days, DSO rose 115.6 days, and DPO rose 16.6 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 1565.8 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +115.6 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 442.4 days +115.6 days
Inventory 2090.4 days +65.3 days
Payables 967.1 days +16.6 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 1565.8 days +164.3 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 32.8bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -1.09x and interest coverage only at -0.18x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 1.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 121.4bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.18x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

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 -1.09x +0.16x
Interest Coverage -0.18x −0.75x
Cash / Debt 1.3% −7.2pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 1.37x −50.14x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 32.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 2.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +35.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +37.8bn.

CFO / net income was 1.37x.

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 showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -203.5%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at -7.2%.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.37x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -203.5% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
