China West Construction Group Co Ltd
China West Construction Group Co Ltd has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.36, indicating a relatively conservative capital structure. However, the company's liquidity is assessed as medium, and it has negative free cash flow of -417,103,140 CNY, suggesting potential challenges in maintaining operational liquidity. The company's return on equity is -8.51%, and its return on assets is -2.29%, both significantly below the industry median for Construction Materials firms, indicating poor profitability and asset utilization. The company's operating income is negative at -752,560,230 CNY, and its net income is also negative at -729,710,370 CNY, which is a clear sign of financial distress. The gross profit of 872,109,180 CNY is insufficient to cover operating expenses, further highlighting the company's operational inefficiencies. The company's current ratio of 1.27 suggests it has enough current assets to cover its current liabilities, but the margin is narrow, and the negative operating cash flow of -539,533,330 CNY indicates ongoing cash flow challenges. The company's revenue is concentrated in a single business segment, with no disclosed geographic diversification, which increases its exposure to regional economic fluctuations. The company's capital expenditure of -118,814,340 CNY indicates ongoing investment in its operations, but the negative value suggests that the company is not generating sufficient cash to fund these investments. The company's revenue for the latest period is 18,107,780,440 CNY, but there is no disclosed growth trajectory or outlook for the next fiscal year. The company's risk assessment indicates a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk, but the key flag of negative net cash after subtracting total debt is a significant concern. The company's ESG score of 52.67 is moderate, with a B- grade, indicating some environmental and governance strengths but significant social and governance weaknesses. The company has not disclosed any recent events, filings, or transcripts that would provide additional insight into its operations or strategic direction.
