Southern Gas Trading JSC maintains a liquidity position that is neutral, with a current ratio of 1.0 and cash and equivalents of 110,000,000,000 VND. However, the company's net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, indicating a potential liquidity risk. The debt-to-equity ratio of 0.31 suggests a relatively conservative capital structure, with total liabilities of 1,550,912,971,960 VND and total equity of 962,800,608,400 VND.

Profitability metrics for Southern Gas Trading JSC show a return on equity of 2.96% and a return on assets of 1.13%, both of which are below the industry median for the Oil & Gas Refining and Marketing sector. The company's operating income of 33,795,167,010 VND and net income of 28,498,448,840 VND indicate a modest profit margin, with gross profit of 227,992,656,430 VND on total revenue of 1,475,103,760,510 VND.

The company's revenue is not segmented by geographic region or product line in the available data, making it difficult to assess geographic or segment concentration risk. However, the company's exposure to the fossil fuels sector suggests a high degree of dependence on global energy markets and geopolitical factors.

Southern Gas Trading JSC's growth trajectory is uncertain, as the available data does not provide forward-looking revenue projections. The company's capital expenditure of -4,643,922,140 VND and free cash flow of 39,755,700,420 VND suggest a focus on maintaining operational efficiency rather than aggressive expansion.

The company's risk profile is characterized by a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The negative net cash position after subtracting total debt is a key flag, and the company has not disclosed any dilutive events in the near term. No recent events, such as filings or transcripts, are available to provide additional context on the company's risk exposure.

The company's recent financial performance, as reflected in the analyst estimate of 6,126,528,001,560 VND for last actual revenue, suggests a stable but not growing revenue base. The operating cash flow of -31,673,324,580 VND indicates a cash outflow from operations, which may be a concern for long-term sustainability.

Net income grew at a 9.8% CAGR over four years, demonstrating consistent profitability expansion despite recent revenue volatility.

Free cash flow surged 16.9% year-over-year in 2018, indicating improved operational cash generation capabilities.

The debt-to-equity ratio of 0.31 is below the cohort median of 0.36, suggesting a relatively conservative capital structure.

Credit risk is flagged as high, signaling significant potential for financial distress or default issues within the company.

Cash conversion is in the bottom quartile of peers at -1.11, indicating severe inefficiency in turning earnings into cash.
