CH Karnchang PCL

Construction & EngineeringVerified

CH Karnchang PCL has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.7, indicating a capital structure that is significantly leveraged. The company's liquidity position is assessed as medium, with a current ratio of 1.01, suggesting that it has just enough current assets to cover its current liabilities. The company's free cash flow of 3,273,337,260 THB indicates that it is generating positive cash from operations after capital expenditures. The company's profitability is reflected in its return on equity of 11.82% and return on assets of 2.84%. These figures are to be compared against the industry's preferred metrics, which typically emphasize return on invested capital and operating margins. The company's operating income of 3,404,542,200 THB and net income of 3,328,222,820 THB suggest a healthy level of profitability, although the gross profit of 5,739,022,650 THB indicates that the company is operating in a competitive environment with thin margins. CH Karnchang PCL's revenue is concentrated in the construction and engineering sector, with no disclosed geographic diversification. The company's operations are primarily based in Thailand, and there is no indication of significant international revenue streams. This concentration may expose the company to local economic and regulatory risks. The company's growth trajectory is expected to be modest, with no significant revenue growth projected in the current or next fiscal year. The company's capital expenditure of -407,411,740 THB indicates that it is not investing heavily in new projects or infrastructure. This may suggest a conservative approach to growth or a focus on maintaining existing operations. The risk assessment for CH Karnchang PCL indicates a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The company's net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt, which could affect its ability to meet short-term obligations. The company's dilution risk is low, suggesting that there is little likelihood of a significant increase in the number of shares outstanding in the near term. Recent events and filings do not indicate any major changes in the company's operations or financial strategy. The company's price targets from analysts range from 18.50 THB to 23.00 THB, with a mean recommendation of 1.75, indicating a generally positive outlook from the investment community.
