Over the past five years, the gross profit margin has risen from 53.4% to 62.1%, while the return on equity has risen from 5.3% to 25%. The trend is very good.

Over the past five years, revenue (except 2020), operating profit (except 2017) and net profit (except 2017) have maintained overall growth, with net profit growing at an average rate of 76 per cent in recent years and 20 per cent in the past two years.

In the first two quarters of 2022, revenue, operating profit and net profit increased by 8.3%, 33.8% and 36%, respectively, and the increase continued on a high basis in 2021.

The interest burden accounts for 7% of the operating profit in 2021, which is not high.

Over the past five years, the asset-liability ratio has gradually dropped from 61% to 51%, and the decline is still obvious.

The ratio of accounts receivable to inventory is relatively normal, and the increase is also lower than the increase in net profit.

Goodwill and other intangible assets were 1.833 billion, accounting for 49 per cent of net assets of 3.779 billion.

Long-term borrowing is 1.792 billion, accounting for 47% of net assets of 3.779 billion, with a medium leverage ratio.

Over the past five years, with the exception of 2017, the net operating volume has exceeded the net investment by a large proportion, and the shareholders have a lot of surplus.

What is interesting is that the company has bought back a lot of shares but did not cancel it, which has reached 1.43 billion at present. I do not know what to do with it in the future.

The current price-to-earnings ratio is 34.68 and the price-to-earnings ratio is TTM30, so you can choose carefully (⭐️).
