What our checks show for 0358.HK

Red flags

• Operating cash flow is only 0.07x net profit: part of the reported profit does not arrive as cash.
• Analysts expect revenue to shrink about 6.6% a year.
• The net margin is only 2%: little room if costs rise.
• Free cash flow is negative (-0.5% of revenue): the business spends more cash than it brings in.
• The price swings a lot: 58.2% annual volatility. Expect large ups and downs.
• The stock has fallen as much as 91% from a peak. Would you have held through that?
• Recovering from its deepest fall took about 16.3 years.
• Pay in shares equals 0% of free cash flow: it dilutes shareholders.

Warning signs

• Net debt is 1x a year of EBITDA (debt/equity 1.26). That limits room in a downturn and raises refinancing risk.
• Beta 1.37: the stock usually moves more than the market, both up and down.

Strengths

• The net margin rose by 0.7 points over 5 years, to 2%.
• The gross margin is 4.6% and has risen by 0.6 points: pricing power is holding.
• Earnings per share grew 34.6% a year over the last 3 years.
• Net profit grew 34.4% a year over the last 3 years.
• The dividend takes 38% of profit: there is a cushion.
• The price is 8.7 times earnings (P/E), reasonable for its growth.
