D&C Media Co Ltd

Consumer PublishingVerified

D&C Media Co Ltd maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 3.77, indicating the company can cover its short-term liabilities more than three times over. The company's liquidity FPT (free cash flow to total liabilities) is robust, supported by a free cash flow of 14,588.69 billion KRW and total liabilities of 22,293.68 billion KRW. The company's price-to-book ratio of 1.52 and price-to-tangible-book ratio of 1.52 suggest that the market values the company at a moderate premium to its book value. In terms of profitability, D&C Media Co Ltd's return on equity (ROE) of 8.38% and return on assets (ROA) of 6.79% are in line with the industry's preferred metrics, indicating efficient use of equity and assets to generate profit. The company's operating income of 16,066.73 billion KRW and net income of 7,973.42 billion KRW reflect a healthy margin structure. The company's revenue is primarily concentrated in the book publication and distribution business, with no disclosed segment breakdown. Geographically, the company operates primarily in South Korea, with no significant international revenue disclosed. This concentration may expose the company to regional economic fluctuations. D&C Media Co Ltd's growth trajectory is supported by a positive outlook, with analysts forecasting a mean EPS estimate of 681.00 KRW, compared to the last actual EPS of 642.00 KRW. The company's revenue of 85,471.66 billion KRW and operating cash flow of 15,054.21 billion KRW indicate a stable financial position. The company's risk assessment indicates a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The key flag of negative net cash after subtracting total debt suggests a need for careful monitoring of liquidity. The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.03 indicates a conservative capital structure. Recent events include a strong analyst recommendation with a mean recommendation of 1.00 (strong buy), and one strong-buy count. No buy, hold, sell, or strong-sell counts were reported, indicating a positive sentiment among analysts.
