Revenue Growth AccelerationRevenue accelerated ~38% in 2025 after steady gains in 2022–2024, reflecting stronger product demand and market reach. Sustained top-line expansion supports capacity utilization, scale economies and investment capacity over the medium term, underpinning durable earnings growth.

Margin Improvement And Gross-margin StabilityOperating and net margins improved in 2025 while gross margin remained ~37%, indicating the company retained pricing or cost control advantages. Stable gross margins plus rising operating margins suggest sustainable operational leverage and improved profitability quality over coming quarters.

Conservative Balance Sheet And Rising ROELeverage remains very low even after some debt re-introduction, while ROE improved to ~13.4% in 2025. This combination provides financial flexibility for strategic investment or downturns, and the improving capital efficiency supports sustainable shareholder returns over the medium term.

Bears Say

Cash-flow Volatility And Negative 2025 FCFCash conversion swung negative in 2025 despite revenue and earnings gains, suggesting working-capital or investment drains. Persistent negative free cash flow would constrain reinvestment, dividends or debt reduction and raise execution and liquidity risk if the pattern continues.

Inconsistent Cash-generation HistoryWide swings between large positive and negative free cash flows across recent years indicate unstable cash dynamics. Such inconsistency makes capital planning harder, increases refinancing risk during downturns, and undermines confidence in sustaining investments or shareholder returns.

Modest And Variable Net MarginsNet margins are modest for the retail apparel sector and have fluctuated historically, leaving limited buffer against cost shocks or competitive price pressure. Low, variable net margins constrain free cash flow upside and magnify the impact of any margin compression on long-term profitability.
