Wushang Group Co Ltd

Department StoresVerified

Wushang Group maintains a capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.95, indicating moderate leverage. The company's liquidity position is characterized as medium risk, with a current ratio of 0.38 and negative net cash after subtracting total debt. Despite a market price of 7.81 CNY, the price-to-book ratio of 0.55 suggests the market values the company below its book value. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 1.65% and a return on assets of 0.59%, both below the typical thresholds for healthy returns in the retail sector. The company's operating margin of 4.53% (calculated from operating income of 275.62 million CNY on revenue of 6.08 billion CNY) is modest compared to industry benchmarks. Gross margin of 48.99% (2.98 billion CNY gross profit on 6.08 billion CNY revenue) reflects competitive pricing pressures in the sector. Geographic and segment exposure is not explicitly detailed in the available data, but as a Chinese department store operator, the company's revenue is likely concentrated in domestic markets. The absence of disclosed international operations suggests limited geographic diversification. Growth trajectory appears constrained, with no specific revenue growth rates provided in the data. The company's free cash flow of -315.96 million CNY and capital expenditure of -780.94 million CNY indicate ongoing investment in operations, though this is not offset by positive cash generation. Risk factors include medium liquidity risk and a debt load that could limit financial flexibility. The dilution risk is assessed as low, with no significant changes in shares outstanding between basic and diluted metrics. No recent events or filings are explicitly detailed in the provided data, though the company's financials suggest ongoing operational challenges.
