return on assets
number:
10.47%→14.73%→14.36%→11.33%→15.05%→14.59%
analyze:
• Good ROA and flexible operation.
• It reflects the company’s ability to earn acceptable profits from its operating assets.
• Recent improvements indicate improved cost management and production efficiency.
Impact on stocks:
Good ROA supports the stock’s stability, but remains below levels that would prompt heavy institutional buying.

net profit margin net profit margin
number:
6.81%→13.32%→9.27%→8.48%→14.30%→9.57%
analyze:
• Profits are unstable and fluctuate based on raw material prices and export shipments.
• The 14% jump was positive, but its return to 9% reflects continued operating pressures.
• The volatility reflects the company’s unstable profitability due to its linkage to export markets and fluctuations in raw material prices.
Impact on stocks:
Unstable margin is one of the reasons why the stock traded sideways and failed to form a strong upward trend.
free cash flow per share free cash flow per share
number:
0.10→1.37→1.73→1.77→0.25→0.97
analyze:
• Free cash flow is relatively good, but has been hurt recently by higher capital expenditures.
• A decrease from 1.77 to 0.25 represents temporary financial stress.
• A return to 0.97 reflects improved cash flow.
Impact on stocks:
The previous decline in free cash flow led to weak momentum, while the recent improvement has provided support for the near-term upward trend.
debt to equity ratiodebt to equity ratio
number:
0.51 → 0.48 → 0.45 → 0.45 → 0.47 → 0.47 → (0.51 in the last quarter)
analyze:
• Debt levels are very low compared to the industry.
• This reflects the secure financial structure and the company’s ability to fund its activities without relying heavily on borrowings.
• The final small increase is normal and does not pose a risk.
Impact on stocks:
The financial risk is low, and the stock remains relatively stable even if operating profits decline.
________________________________________
• Profitability is stable, but not enough to drive price explosions.
• Fluctuations in profit margins reflect the company’s dependence on export demand and raw material prices.
• Very safe debt structure reduces operational risk and makes equity less risky.
• Cash flow is gradually improving, supporting the short-term uptrend we mentioned in our technical analysis

ROE – return on equity
Numbers (last 6 quarters):
11.13% → 15.67% → 15.20% → 11.90% → 15.77% → 15.23%
analyze:
• ROE is stable in the 11%–16% range, which is acceptable but not particularly high.
• Reflects the company’s ability to maintain healthy profitability despite fluctuations in costs and raw material prices.
• The lack of significant ROE growth suggests profitability is moving sideways.
Impact on stocks:
Solid ROE supports the stock’s medium-term sideways trend, but does not provide strong bullish momentum without improvement in sales or margins.
ROA – return on assets
number:
10.47% → 14.73% → 14.36% → 11.33% → 15.05% → 14–59%
analyze:
• ROA is relatively high and exhibits operational resilience.
• It demonstrates the company’s ability to generate acceptable returns from its operating assets.
• Recent improvements mark better cost management and higher productivity.
Impact on stocks:
Solid ROE has helped stabilize the stock’s performance, but remains below levels that would typically attract aggressive institutional buying.
net profit margin
number:
6.81%→13.32%→9.27%→8.48%→14.30%→9.57%
analyze:
• Margins are unstable and fluctuate significantly due to raw material prices and export-related costs.
• The surge to 14% was positive, but the subsequent fall back to 9% suggests continued operating pressures.
• This volatility highlights the company’s sensitivity to export markets and commodity pricing.
Impact on stocks:
The inconsistent margin is one of the key reasons why the stock continues to trade sideways rather than forming a strong bullish trend.
free cash flow per share
number:
0.10→1.37→1.73→1.77→0.25→0.97
analyze:
• Free cash flow is relatively healthy, but has been negatively impacted by recent increases in capital expenditures.
• A decrease from 1.77 to 0.25 indicates temporary financial stress.
• A recovery to 0.97 points to early signs of improving cash generation.
Impact on stocks:
The previous decline in free cash flow led to weaker momentum, while recent improvements have provided near-term support for modest upside.
debt to equity ratio
number:
0.51→0.48→0.45→0.45→0.47→0.47→ (recovered to 0.51 in the latest quarter)
analyze:
• Debt levels are very low compared to industry averages.
• This reflects a conservative and stable capital structure that allows the company to operate without heavy reliance on external borrowings.
• The recent slight increase is not alarming and remains within a safe range.
Impact on stocks:
Low leverage reduces financial risk, helping the stock remain relatively stable even when operating profits are weak.
