6.49 / 10
Outperform
The company's fundamentals score 6.5/10, highlighting solid asset and cash positions but tempered by liabilities concerns. Key positives include a strong asset-to-market value ratio (-0.1241) and healthy gross margin (51.0453%), while risks such as a high equity ratio (0.7300) and negative profit-to-market value (-0.1314) warrant monitoring. Overall, the balance of factors supports a constructive but not overwhelming fundamental view.
