Paragon Union Bhd
Paragon Union Bhd has a current ratio of 1.68, indicating moderate liquidity, but its return on equity of -4.81% and return on assets of -2.87% suggest poor profitability and capital efficiency. The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.17 indicates a relatively conservative capital structure, with long-term debt at MYR 20.46 million compared to total equity of MYR 118.48 million. The company reported a net loss of MYR 5.70 million for the period, with operating income also negative at MYR 1.51 million, reflecting challenges in cost management and revenue generation. Gross profit of MYR 20.37 million was insufficient to cover operating expenses, contributing to the net loss. Paragon Union Bhd's revenue of MYR 111.14 million is concentrated in the home furnishings segment, with no disclosed geographic diversification in the provided data. The company's operating cash flow of MYR 3.38 million and capital expenditure of MYR 2.68 million suggest limited reinvestment in growth. The company's outlook for the current fiscal year is uncertain, with a net loss reported and no disclosed revenue growth. The risk assessment indicates medium liquidity risk and low dilution risk, but the negative net cash position after subtracting total debt is a key flag. No recent events or filings are disclosed in the provided data.
