The profitability profile exhibits a distinct V-shaped recovery across nearly all key metrics. A period of significant contraction occurred between early 2021 and early 2023, followed by a sustained and aggressive expansion in margins and returns through mid-2026. This pattern indicates a strategic shift from lower profitability toward operational efficiency and enhanced bottom-line performance.
- Gross Profit Margin
- The gross margin remained relatively stable compared to other ratios, though it experienced a slight decline from 74.32% in April 2021 to a low of 72.61% in July 2022. Following this trough, a consistent upward trend is observed, peaking at 77.73% in October 2025 before stabilizing around 77.28% by July 2026. This suggests a successful optimization of the cost of goods sold or an increase in pricing power.
- Operating Profit Margin
- Operating margins underwent a severe contraction, falling from 4.25% in April 2021 to a near-zero low of 0.26% in July 2022. A robust recovery followed, characterized by rapid growth from January 2023 (3.29%) to a peak of 20.54% in October 2025. The margin subsequently leveled off, ending the period at 19.88% in July 2026, reflecting a substantial improvement in operational leverage and expense management.
- Net Profit Margin
- Net profitability showed extreme volatility, dropping from 19.87% in April 2021 to a minimum of 0.66% in January 2023. From that point, a steady and uninterrupted climb is evident, with the margin reaching 21.99% by July 2026. This recovery not only erased previous losses in profitability but resulted in a net margin higher than the initial 2021 levels.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- ROE mirrored the trend of the net profit margin, declining from 10.44% in April 2021 to a low of 0.36% in January 2023. The recovery phase was gradual until early 2026, at which point a sharp acceleration occurred, with ROE jumping to 23.44% in January 2026 and peaking at 25.18% in July 2026. This represents a significant increase in the efficiency of generating profits from shareholders' equity.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
- ROA followed a similar trajectory, decreasing from 6.85% in April 2021 to a floor of 0.21% in January 2023. A consistent recovery trend is observed thereafter, with ROA climbing to 8.81% by July 2026. The steady increase indicates improved asset utilization and a stronger correlation between the asset base and net income generation.

The gross profit margin exhibited a U-shaped recovery followed by a period of sustained expansion and subsequent stabilization between April 2021 and July 2026. Throughout this period, both gross profit and total revenues increased consistently, indicating a scalable growth trajectory where profitability improvements eventually outpaced revenue growth.
- Initial Margin Contraction
- From April 30, 2021, to July 31, 2022, a gradual decline in the gross profit margin was observed, falling from 74.32% to a period low of 72.61%. This phase suggests that the cost of generating revenue grew at a marginally faster rate than the revenues themselves during this timeframe.
- Sustained Expansion Phase
- A consistent upward trend began in October 2022, with the gross profit margin rising steadily from 72.69% to a peak of 77.73% by October 31, 2025. This prolonged increase reflects a significant improvement in operational efficiency and a successful optimization of the cost of goods sold relative to the expanding revenue base.
- Recent Stabilization and Marginal Correction
- Between January 31, 2026, and July 31, 2026, the margin entered a period of stabilization, experiencing a slight contraction to 77.28%. Despite this minor decline, the margin remains approximately 300 basis points higher than the levels recorded at the beginning of the analyzed period, signaling a higher baseline of profitability.
- Revenue and Profit Correlation
- Total revenues grew from 5,963 million USD to 11,345 million USD, while gross profit increased from 4,408 million USD to 8,696 million USD. The simultaneous increase in both absolute gross profit and the margin percentage during the latter half of the period underscores strong operating leverage.

The operating profit margin exhibits a distinct cyclical transition from a period of contraction and volatility to a sustained phase of expansion and eventual stabilization. Over the analyzed period, a structural shift occurred, moving from marginal profitability to a consistent operating margin baseline exceeding 19%.
- Initial Margin Contraction and Volatility
- Between April 2021 and July 2022, the operating profit margin experienced a significant downward trend, declining from 4.25% to a low of 0.26%. This period was characterized by high volatility in income from operations, including a deficit of 176 million US dollars in January 2022, despite a steady upward trajectory in total revenues.
- Accelerated Expansion Phase
- A sharp reversal in trend is observed starting in April 2023, marking a period of aggressive margin expansion. The operating profit margin climbed rapidly from 4.42% in April 2023 to 14.38% by January 2024. This growth was driven by a substantial increase in income from operations, which rose from 412 million US dollars in April 2023 to 1.62 billion US dollars by October 2023.
- Profitability Stabilization
- From April 2024 through July 2026, the operating profit margin entered a plateau phase, consistently fluctuating within a narrow range between 18.14% and 20.54%. During this interval, revenue growth continued to scale, with operating income maintaining a proportional increase to sustain margins near the 20% threshold, representing a significant improvement over the 2021-2022 baseline.

The profitability profile exhibits a distinct U-shaped trajectory, characterized by a severe contraction in margins over a two-year period followed by a sustained and aggressive recovery. Analysis of the net profit margin reveals a transition from high initial profitability to a near-zero baseline, subsequently rebounding to exceed previous peaks.
- Margin Contraction Phase (April 2021 – January 2023)
- A consistent downward trend is observed starting from April 2021, where the net profit margin stood at 19.87%. This figure declined precipitously over the following several quarters, reaching a trough of 0.66% by January 2023. During this interval, net income experienced significant volatility, including two quarterly losses in January 2022 and January 2023, indicating a period of substantial cost increases or operational headwinds that outpaced revenue growth.
- Margin Recovery and Expansion Phase (April 2023 – July 2026)
- Beginning in April 2023, a reversal in the profitability trend is evident. The net profit margin climbed steadily from 1.18% to 21.99% by July 2026. This expansion was characterized by accelerating growth between July 2023 and January 2024, where margins jumped from 4.77% to 15.30% in only three quarters. The latter half of the period shows a stabilized upward trajectory, with margins consistently remaining above 16%.
- Correlation Between Revenue Growth and Net Income
- Revenues demonstrated a steady upward climb, increasing from US$ 5,963 million in April 2021 to US$ 11,345 million by July 2026. While revenue growth was linear, net income growth was exponential during the recovery phase. The synergy between increasing scale and expanding margins resulted in net income rising from a low of negative US$ 98 million in January 2023 to a peak of US$ 3,526 million by July 2026, signifying a substantial improvement in operational efficiency and bottom-line conversion.

The financial trajectory from April 2021 to July 2026 is characterized by three distinct phases: an initial period of profitability contraction, a sustained recovery of earnings, and a final phase of accelerated return on equity (ROE) expansion.
- Profitability Contraction (April 2021 – January 2023)
- A significant downward trend in ROE is observed during this period, falling from 10.44% in April 2021 to a trough of 0.36% in January 2023. This decline was driven by volatile net income, which included negative results in January 2022 and January 2023, occurring simultaneously with a steady increase in stockholders' equity from $42.57 billion to $58.36 billion. The combination of diminishing net income and an expanding equity base led to a severe compression of the ROE ratio.
- Recovery and Earnings Growth (April 2023 – January 2026)
- A reversal in the trend began in July 2023, coinciding with a substantial increase in net income, which jumped from $199 million in April 2023 to $1.27 billion in July 2023. Throughout this phase, net income maintained a consistent upward trajectory, reaching $1.94 billion by January 2026. As stockholders' equity remained relatively stable, fluctuating around the $60 billion mark, the ROE steadily recovered, climbing from 0.66% to 12.61%.
- Accelerated ROE Expansion (April 2026 – July 2026)
- The final period is marked by a sharp spike in ROE, which surged to 23.44% in April 2026 and reached 25.18% by July 2026. This acceleration was the result of two simultaneous factors: a continued rise in net income, peaking at $3.53 billion in July 2026, and a significant reduction in stockholders' equity, which dropped from $59.14 billion in January 2026 to $34.24 billion in April 2026. The substantial decrease in the equity base, paired with record net income, mathematically amplified the ROE to its highest levels in the analyzed period.

The return on assets (ROA) exhibits a distinct U-shaped trajectory over the analyzed period, characterized by an initial sharp decline, a period of stabilization, and a subsequent robust recovery to record levels. This movement reflects significant shifts in net income efficiency relative to the company's asset base.
- Phase of Profitability Decline (April 2021 – January 2023)
- A significant downward trend in ROA is observed during this interval, falling from 6.85% in April 2021 to a low of 0.21% by January 2023. This erosion in asset efficiency was driven by a combination of expanding total assets—which grew from 64.8 billion USD to 98.8 billion USD—and volatile net income. The period was marked by two instances of negative net income in January 2022 and January 2023, which severely compressed the ROA.
- Recovery and Efficiency Gains (April 2023 – January 2025)
- Beginning in April 2023, a consistent recovery in ROA is evident. The ratio climbed from 0.41% to 6.02% by January 2025. This turnaround was primarily fueled by a substantial increase in net income, which surged from under 200 million USD in early 2023 to a range between 1.4 billion and 1.7 billion USD through late 2024. During this phase, total assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 91 billion and 103 billion USD, indicating that the increase in ROA was driven by improved operational profitability rather than asset divestment.
- Accelerated Growth and Peak Performance (April 2025 – July 2026)
- The final period shows an acceleration in asset productivity, with ROA reaching its highest point in the series at 8.81% by July 2026. Net income showed aggressive growth, culminating in a peak of 3.5 billion USD. While total assets experienced a slight increase to 109.6 billion USD, the rate of income growth significantly outpaced asset expansion, resulting in a strengthened profitability profile and optimized asset utilization.
