Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Improving Profitability And ROEA sustained rebound in net margin and ROE through 2024–2025 indicates the company restored earnings power and operating leverage. Durable margin improvement increases retained earnings, supports reinvestment or dividends, and reduces reliance on balance-sheet fixes to drive shareholder returns.
Moderate, Improving LeverageLeverage falling toward 0.7x of equity while equity has grown strengthens balance-sheet resilience. Moderate debt levels give financial flexibility for capex, acquisitions or shock absorption and lower refinancing risk if improved earnings are sustained over the medium term.
Strong Free Cash Flow Conversion In 2025High free cash flow and ~89% conversion of net income in 2025 demonstrate the business can generate cash to fund operations, dividends and debt paydown. If sustained, this materially increases strategic optionality and reduces reliance on external financing.
Bears Say
Uneven Revenue TrajectoryA dip in revenue in 2025 after prior growth signals inconsistent top-line momentum, reducing visibility on sustainable growth. Durable returns may therefore depend on margin expansion rather than reliable organic revenue growth, increasing execution risk over the medium term.
Historically Volatile Cash GenerationSignificant FCF swings across years undermine predictability of internal funding for capex, dividends and debt reduction. Volatility suggests working-capital or timing issues that, if recurring, could force cyclical borrowing or asset sales during downturns, constraining strategy.
Sizable Absolute Debt As Assets ExpandedAlthough leverage improved, the company still carries sizable debt in absolute terms. If profitability weakens or revenue softness persists, leverage metrics could deteriorate quickly, limiting capital allocation choices and increasing vulnerability to higher interest rates or tighter credit markets.
