Chainqui Construction Development Co Ltd
Chainqui's capital structure is highly leveraged, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.52, indicating significant reliance on debt financing. The company's liquidity position is weak, with only TWD 42 million in cash and equivalents against TWD 5.93 billion in long-term debt. The current ratio of 1.22 suggests limited short-term liquidity to cover immediate obligations. Profitability is severely challenged, with a net loss of TWD 180 million and an operating loss of TWD 103 million in the latest period. Return on equity is negative at -4.6%, and return on assets is also negative at -1.32%, both well below the industry median for construction firms. Gross profit of TWD 80.9 million represents a 30.6% margin, but this is insufficient to offset operating expenses. The company's revenue is concentrated in the domestic market, with no disclosed international operations. Its two segments—Development and Construction—account for the majority of revenue, though the relative contribution of each is not specified. The company also operates through subsidiaries in investment, supermarket operations, and apartment management, but these are not quantified in the financial snapshot. Growth appears to be under pressure, with no disclosed revenue growth in the latest period. The company reported TWD 264.4 million in revenue, but operating cash flow was negative at TWD 2.12 billion, and free cash flow was negative at TWD 171.8 million. Capital expenditures were minimal at TWD 1.39 million, suggesting limited reinvestment in growth. Risk factors include high leverage and negative cash flows, with a liquidity risk score of medium. The company has a low dilution risk, but its negative net cash position (cash minus total debt) raises concerns about solvency. No dilutive events were disclosed in the latest filings, and shares outstanding have not changed between basic and diluted counts. Recent events include the continued operation in a challenging construction market in Taiwan, with no material new projects or strategic shifts disclosed in the latest financial filings. The company's 10-K or equivalent filing does not reference any major legal or regulatory issues, but the negative operating performance suggests operational or market pressures.
