The company's price-to-book ratio is 1.24, and its price-to-tangible-book ratio is also 1.24, indicating a valuation in line with tangible asset value. The enterprise value to EBITDA ratio is negative at -18.89, reflecting the company's operating losses. The enterprise value to revenue ratio is 2.34, suggesting a revenue-based valuation that is relatively modest compared to industry norms.

These figures are significantly below the industry median for Construction Materials, which typically sees positive returns. The operating income is negative at -175.18 million CNY, and the net income is also negative at -164.12 million CNY. The company's gross profit is 192.35 million CNY, but this is insufficient to cover operating expenses. The company's revenue is primarily derived from the sale of ready-mixed concrete and related construction materials. There is no detailed breakdown of revenue by geographic region or product segment in the provided data. However, the company's operations are concentrated in China, and its products are used in real estate and infrastructure projects, which are subject to cyclical demand. The company's growth trajectory is uncertain, with a negative net income and declining operating cash flow. The operating cash flow is 11.80 million CNY, while the free cash flow is negative at -95.58 million CNY. The capital expenditure is -21.15 million CNY, indicating some investment in infrastructure or equipment. Analysts have estimated a mean revenue of 1.23 billion CNY for the current fiscal year, which is higher than the actual revenue of 1.03 billion CNY in the previous period. However, the mean EPS estimate of 0.10 CNY is far below the actual EPS of -1.81 CNY. The company faces several risk factors, including liquidity concerns due to negative net cash after subtracting total debt. The debt-to-equity ratio is 0.38, and the current ratio is 1.68, indicating moderate liquidity risk. The dilution risk is assessed as low, with no significant dilution potential in the near term. The company's financial structure includes long-term debt of 773.45 million CNY, and the total liabilities are 1.91 billion CNY, with total equity of 2.05 billion CNY. Recent events and filings indicate that the company is operating in a challenging market environment. The negative net income and declining operating cash flow suggest that the company is struggling to maintain profitability. The company's reliance on the construction and real estate sectors, which are sensitive to economic cycles and regulatory changes, adds to the uncertainty of its future performance.
