1.50 / 10
Underperform
MHF's fundamentals are rated underperform with a 1.5/10 score. Key concerns include a negative return on total assets (-9.58%), a sharp decline in basic earnings per share (-80.23% YoY), and a high current liabilities ratio (53.35%). Although gross profit margin (47.52%) and total profit/EBIT (100%) show some strength, they are insufficient to offset other weaknesses. The asset-to-market value factor is also negative (-0.51), suggesting overvaluation relative to peers. Overall, the fundamental picture is fragile and warrants caution.
