Conservative Balance SheetVery low leverage provides durable financial flexibility: limits refinancing risk, supports capital allocation (dividends, capex, M&A) during cycles, and cushions operational volatility. A strong equity base underpins long-term strategic optionality and downside protection.

Improving Gross MarginSustained gross-margin expansion implies better pricing, product mix or cost control that is structural rather than transitory. Higher gross margins create lasting room to absorb SG&A or reinvest in growth while protecting operating profitability through demand swings.

Consistent Revenue GrowthMulti-year top-line growth reflects resilient demand across stationery, school and office segments and diversified channels. Steady revenue expansion supports scale benefits, improves predictability of cash flows, and underpins medium-term investment and product development.

Bears Say

Weaker Cash ConversionDeclining and volatile cash conversion reduces internal funding for capex, dividends and buybacks and raises reliance on cash reserves despite low debt. Persistent FCF weakness would restrict strategic flexibility and make earnings less fungible into long-term shareholder returns.

Operating Margin DeclineA step-down in operating margin signals emerging cost or efficiency pressures that can erode earnings power. If structural, this limits the firm's ability to translate gross-margin gains into net profit, constraining reinvestment and long-run profitability without corrective measures.

Modest Net ProfitabilityA low net margin constrains retained earnings and free capital for strategic initiatives. Modest profitability limits buffer against cyclical downturns and makes it harder to fund growth internally, meaning long-term growth depends on sustained margin improvement or external financing.
