Synthesis
ADAMA Ltd operates in the chemicals industry within the materials sector, generating revenue through the production and sale of agricultural and industrial chemical products.
ADAMA Ltd maintains a capital structure characterized by significant leverage, with long-term debt of 17.82 billion CNY against total equity of 17.58 billion CNY, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.01. The company’s liquidity position is assessed as medium risk, supported by a current ratio of 1.14. While operating cash flow stands at 4.05 billion CNY, free cash flow is negative at -1.08 billion CNY due to capital expenditures of 1.21 billion CNY, indicating that operational cash generation is currently insufficient to cover investment needs without external financing or debt utilization.
Profitability metrics reflect a challenging operating environment, with the company reporting a net loss of 1.05 billion CNY and an operating loss of 897.4 million CNY on revenues of 28.94 billion CNY. This results in a negative return on equity of -11.98% and a negative return on assets of -4.35%. The gross profit of 7.46 billion CNY suggests that while the company retains margin at the gross level, operating expenses and other costs are eroding profitability, leading to negative earnings before interest and taxes, which renders the EV/EBITDA multiple negative at -19.36.
- ADAMA Ltd reports a net loss of 1.05 billion CNY and negative free cash flow of 1.08 billion CNY, indicating current operational inefficiencies or high investment cycles.
- The company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.01, with long-term debt of 17.82 billion CNY, posing moderate leverage risk.
- Analyst sentiment is strongly positive with a mean recommendation of 1.50 and a price target of 7.92 CNY, implying expected future improvement.
- Liquidity is rated as medium risk with a current ratio of 1.14, requiring careful management of short-term obligations.
