What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VMC is losing revenue quickly, though margins have not been hit proportionally yet — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 0.9% = 0.3% × 0.76 × 3.80
2026Q1 0.6% = 0.3% × 0.65 × 3.53

ROE is broadly flat at 0.6% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 0.3% -0.0pp Asset turnover: 0.65x -0.12x Leverage: 3.53x -0.27x

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 stands at 0.28%, 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.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 174.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 0.3pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to -0.19%, falling 0.4pp. That translates to -0.19 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.4pp and capital turnover fell 0.25x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

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

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently -0.19% — 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 -0.19% −0.4pp
NOPAT Margin -0.21% −0.4pp
Capital Turnover 0.95x −0.25x
Average Invested Capital 851.7bn −10.6bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.36x equity, net debt at 1.39x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 271.1bn, roughly 23.2% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 68.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −12.8bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +119.9bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −175.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 44.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 28.8 days, DSO rose 10.7 days, and DPO fell 4.7 days.

All 3 drivers are deteriorating — working capital is becoming more deeply tied up in the operating cycle.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 223.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +10.7 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 128.9 days +10.7 days
Inventory 157.4 days +28.8 days
Payables 62.4 days −4.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 223.9 days +44.1 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.39x and interest coverage only at -0.13x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 92.7% of total debt, cash equals 8.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 530.6bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.39x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.13x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.39x −0.05x
Interest Coverage -0.13x −0.24x
Cash / Debt 8.9% −6.7pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 92.7% −4.6pp
CFO / NI -23.92x −53.75x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 34.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -12.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +22.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +17.8bn.

CFO / net income was -23.92x.

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 -521.1%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at -0.2%.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -521.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -23.92x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
