Outperform
LOCO exhibits outstanding fundamental strength with a 9.2/10 score. Key positives include a PB-ROE factor of -0.5622 (Group 2, quality score 3/3) and an interest coverage ratio of 9.0542 (Group 3, quality score 3), both historically associated with positive returns. However, YoY growth in basic and diluted earnings per share are only 3.03% and 4.62% respectively (both Group 2, quality 0), signaling room for improvement. Net cash flow from operating activities is declining (-16.96%, Group 1), which is a concern. Overall, the fundamentals are solid but not without weaknesses.
