The profitability profile exhibits a distinct cyclical trend characterized by a period of peak performance in late 2022, a prolonged contraction phase extending through 2024, and a subsequent recovery period beginning in 2025.
- Profit Margin Trends
- Gross profit margins reached a peak of 69.51% in September 2022 before entering a steady decline, reaching a trough of 57.02% in September 2025. A marginal recovery is noted in the first half of 2026, with the margin rising to 58.33%. The contraction in operating profit margins was more severe, falling from 51.84% in September 2022 to a low of 34.06% in September 2025, before rebounding to 37.29% by June 2026. Net profit margins followed a similar trajectory, declining from a high of 44.21% in September 2022 to 28.28% in December 2025, with a recovery to 31.11% observed by June 2026.
- Efficiency and Return Ratios
- Return on Equity (ROE) experienced a significant reduction from its peak of 61.52% in September 2022, declining to 28.39% by December 2024. A consistent upward trend emerged thereafter, with ROE climbing to 33.61% by June 2026. Return on Assets (ROA) mirrored this pattern, peaking at 34.69% in June 2022 and descending to a low of 13.51% in December 2024. A gradual recovery phase is evident from 2025 onward, culminating in an ROA of 16.87% by June 2026.
- Comparative Analysis of Decline and Recovery
- The data indicates that the decline in operating and net margins was more pronounced than the decline in gross margins, suggesting that the contraction was driven not only by cost of goods sold but also by increased operating expenses or decreased revenue scale. The synchronized recovery across all five ratios starting in early 2025 suggests a broad improvement in operational efficiency and market conditions toward the end of the analyzed period.

An analysis of the quarterly financial performance reveals a period of significant margin compression followed by a gradual stabilization of profitability. While revenue and gross profit figures exhibit a cyclical recovery pattern toward the end of the period, the gross profit margin demonstrates a persistent downward shift in its baseline levels.
- Gross Profit Margin Trends
- A sustained decline in the gross profit margin is observed beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The margin reached a peak of 69.51% in September 2022 before entering a consistent contraction phase, ultimately hitting a low of 57.02% by December 31, 2025. This represents a total compression of approximately 12.49 percentage points from the peak.
- Revenue and Profit Correlation
- Revenue and gross profit figures reached their lowest points in the first quarter of 2024, with revenue falling to $3.661 billion and gross profit to $2.095 billion. While revenue recovered strongly to $5.463 billion by June 30, 2026, the corresponding gross profit margin of 58.33% remained substantially lower than the 2022 levels, indicating that costs of goods sold increased at a faster rate than revenue growth during the contraction period.
- Recent Performance Stabilization
- A stabilization and slight recovery in profitability are evident starting in the first quarter of 2026. The gross profit margin moved from 57.32% in March 2026 to 58.33% by June 2026. This recovery coincides with a sharp increase in gross profit, which rose from $2.799 billion to $3.352 billion in the same timeframe, suggesting an improvement in operational efficiency or pricing power.

The operating profit margin exhibits a cyclical pattern characterized by a period of initial strength, a prolonged contraction, and a subsequent recovery phase between March 2022 and June 2026.
- Peak Performance Period (March 2022 – December 2022)
- Operational efficiency remained high during the first year of the observed period, with margins consistently exceeding 50%. A peak margin of 51.84% was achieved in September 2022, coinciding with revenue levels above 5.2 billion US dollars. This period represents the highest level of profitability relative to revenue within the analyzed timeframe.
- Margin Contraction Phase (March 2023 – December 2025)
- A sustained downward trend in the operating profit margin is observed starting in early 2023. The margin declined from 48.77% in March 2023 to a low of 34.06% by December 2025. This contraction occurred despite revenue fluctuations, suggesting that operating expenses did not decrease proportionally with the decline in revenue, or that the cost of goods sold increased relative to sales prices.
- Recovery and Rebound (March 2026 – June 2026)
- A trend reversal is evident in the first half of 2026. The operating profit margin rose to 35.29% in March and reached 37.29% by June 2026. This recovery is supported by a significant increase in both operating profit, which reached 2.31 billion US dollars, and revenue, which peaked at 5.46 billion US dollars in June 2026.
Overall, the analysis indicates a significant volatility in operational profitability, with a total margin compression of approximately 17.78 percentage points from the 2022 peak to the 2025 trough, followed by a partial recovery in the most recent quarters.

An analysis of the quarterly financial performance reveals a significant period of margin compression followed by a gradual recovery in profitability. The net profit margin reached its peak in the third quarter of 2022 before entering a sustained downward trend that persisted through the end of 2025, eventually showing signs of stabilization and growth in the first half of 2026.
- Net Profit Margin Trajectory
- The net profit margin peaked at 44.21% on September 30, 2022. A consistent decline followed, with the margin dropping below 40% by September 30, 2023, and continuing to fall to a low of 28.28% by December 31, 2025. This represents a substantial contraction in profitability relative to revenue over a three-year period.
- Revenue and Net Income Correlation
- Revenue and net income exhibited a synchronized U-shaped pattern. Revenue declined from a high of 5,241 million US dollars in September 2022 to a low of 3,661 million US dollars in March 2024. While both metrics recovered—with revenue reaching 5,463 million US dollars by June 30, 2026—net income did not return to its 2022 levels, illustrating the erosion of the profit margin.
- Recovery Phase and Stabilization
- A trend reversal is observed starting in the first quarter of 2026. After reaching a minimum of 28.28% in December 2025, the net profit margin climbed to 29.11% in March 2026 and further to 31.11% by June 30, 2026. This recovery coincides with the highest recorded revenue levels in the period, suggesting an improvement in operational efficiency or a favorable shift in pricing power.

An analysis of the financial performance from March 2022 to June 2026 reveals a distinct cyclical pattern in profitability, characterized by a significant contraction in Return on Equity (ROE) followed by a period of stabilization and gradual recovery.
- Net Income Performance
- Net income maintained strong levels throughout 2022, peaking at 2.295 billion US$ in September. A steady decline followed throughout 2023, reaching a trough of 1.105 billion US$ in March 2024. From the second quarter of 2024 through June 2026, a recovery trend is observed, with net income increasing to 1.980 billion US$.
- Stockholders' Equity Growth
- The equity base expanded consistently from 14.017 billion US$ in March 2022 to a peak of 17.268 billion US$ in September 2024. A brief period of consolidation and slight decline occurred between December 2024 and March 2025, after which equity resumed its growth trajectory, ending at 18.007 billion US$ in June 2026.
- Return on Equity (ROE) Interpretation
- ROE exhibited a sharp downward trend, falling from 61.52% in September 2022 to a low of 28.39% in December 2024. This decline was driven by the dual impact of diminishing net income and a concurrently increasing equity base. Starting in March 2025, the ROE trend reversed, climbing steadily to 33.61% by June 2026, indicating an improvement in the efficiency of equity utilization as earnings began to outpace equity growth.

A comprehensive analysis of the profitability metrics indicates a period of significant contraction in asset efficiency from early 2022 through late 2024, followed by a gradual recovery phase extending into mid-2026. This trajectory is characterized by a divergence between growing total assets and fluctuating net income, which exerted downward pressure on the Return on Assets (ROA).
- Net Income Trends
- Net income exhibited high stability in the first half of 2022, peaking at 2,295 million USD in September 2022. A subsequent downward trend emerged throughout 2023 and early 2024, with a trough reached in March 2024 at 1,105 million USD. A recovery pattern is observable starting in late 2024, with earnings trending upward to reach 1,980 million USD by June 30, 2026.
- Total Asset Expansion
- The asset base demonstrated consistent growth over the analyzed period. Total assets increased from 25,276 million USD in March 2022 to 35,882 million USD by June 2026. This expansion represents a steady increase in the company's resource base, which occurred independently of the fluctuations in quarterly net income.
- Return on Assets (ROA) Performance
- The ROA experienced a prolonged decline, falling from a peak of 34.69% in June 2022 to a minimum of 13.51% in December 2024. This decline was driven by the simultaneous decrease in net income and the increase in total assets, which effectively diluted the return generated per unit of asset. Following the December 2024 low, a steady recovery is noted, with ROA climbing to 16.87% by June 30, 2026, suggesting an improvement in operational efficiency and a stronger alignment between earnings and the expanded asset base.
