Consec Corp

Consec Corp's capital structure is characterized by a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.18, indicating a conservative leverage profile. The company's liquidity position is reflected in a current ratio of 1.96, suggesting it can cover short-term obligations with its current assets. However, the company reported negative operating and net income, with operating cash flow of -538.52 million JPY and free cash flow of -329.63 million JPY, indicating cash flow challenges. The price-to-book ratio of 0.28 suggests the company is trading at a significant discount to its book value. Profitability metrics show a negative return on equity of -2.63% and a negative return on assets of -1.74%, indicating poor capital efficiency and asset utilization. Gross profit of 2.35 billion JPY represents 22.9% of revenue, which is below the industry median for industrial machinery firms. The company's operating margin is negative at -1.98%, further highlighting operational inefficiencies. The company's revenue is spread across six segments, with no single segment accounting for more than 20% of total revenue. The Cutting Machinery and Special Works segments are the largest contributors, but the company's geographic exposure is not disclosed in the input data. The nursing and IT-related segments represent diversification into non-industrial services, which may provide some insulation from cyclical industrial demand. Growth trajectory is constrained by the company's current financial performance, with negative operating and net income reported in the latest period. The company's capital expenditure of -225.12 million JPY indicates ongoing investment in operations, but the negative free cash flow suggests these investments are not yet generating positive returns. Analyst estimates align with the reported revenue of 10.3 billion JPY, but no forward-looking guidance is provided. Risk factors include liquidity risk due to negative operating cash flow and free cash flow, though the risk assessment classifies liquidity risk as low. The company has no immediate dilution risk, with shares outstanding remaining unchanged between basic and diluted shares. No recent filings or transcripts were identified that would indicate significant operational or strategic changes. The company's recent financial performance shows a decline in profitability, with a net loss of 208.27 million JPY and an operating loss of 204.20 million JPY. The negative earnings per share of -116.67 JPY align with the reported net loss. No material events were identified in the input data that would suggest a near-term turnaround.
