Yunnan Aluminium Co Ltd

Yunnan Aluminium Co Ltd maintains a strong liquidity position, with a current ratio of 2.64 and a free cash flow of 6.75 billion CNY in the latest reporting period. The company's liquidity_fpt score indicates a medium liquidity risk, which is consistent with its net cash position being negative after subtracting total debt. The price-to-book ratio of 3.22 suggests the company is trading at a premium to its book value, while the price-to-tangible-book ratio is identical, indicating no significant intangible assets. In terms of profitability, the company's return on equity (ROE) of 18.9% and return on assets (ROA) of 13.71% are strong, outperforming the industry median for aluminum producers. The net profit margin of 10.08% (6.05 billion CNY net income on 60.04 billion CNY revenue) is also above the industry average, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. The operating margin of 14.41% (8.65 billion CNY operating income) further supports the company's strong operational performance. The company's revenue is concentrated in a single business segment, with no disclosed geographic diversification in the latest financial report. This lack of segmental or geographic diversification increases exposure to regional economic and regulatory risks, particularly in China's aluminum sector. Looking ahead, the company's revenue is projected to grow by 5.2% in the current fiscal year and 3.8% in the next fiscal year, based on analyst estimates and historical performance. The capital expenditure of -640.5 million CNY in the latest period suggests a reduction in investment, which may indicate a shift toward cost optimization or a slowdown in expansion. The company's risk profile is characterized by a low dilution risk, with no significant dilution potential in the basic shares outstanding. However, the debt-to-equity ratio of 0.08 indicates a relatively low leverage position, which is favorable for financial stability. The key risk flag of negative net cash after subtracting total debt suggests potential liquidity constraints in the short term. Recent events include analyst price targets ranging from 31.00 CNY to 39.90 CNY, with a mean of 36.30 CNY and a median of 38.00 CNY. The mean recommendation of 1.71 (on a scale of 1 to 5) indicates a generally positive outlook from analysts, with three strong-buy and three buy ratings.
