Gettop Acoustic Co., Ltd.'s (SZSE:002655) strong earnings report was rewarded with a positive stock price move. Our analysis found some more factors that we think are good for shareholders.
The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
To properly understand Gettop Acoustic's profit results, we need to consider the CN¥11m expense attributed to unusual items. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. If Gettop Acoustic doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year.
