weak cost control, while strong peaks in 2021–2022 show efficient
operations. A mild recovery in 2024 suggests slight improvement but
continued instability.

solvency, meaning the firm can reliably meet current liabilities.

Meaningful positive P/E values appear in 2021–2022 and again in 2024.
Extremely high P/E in 2024 reflects low EPS. Negative P/E in 2020 and
2023 occurs due to losses, indicating weak investor confidence in those
years.

Conclusions
Strength:
Liquidity remained consistently strong, with Current Ratio above 1 across
all years.
Profitability and shareholder returns peaked in 2021–2022, showing strong
performance.
Inventory management was most efficient in 2023.
Weakness:
Net Profit Margin and EPS were volatile, with losses in 2020 and 2023.
Quick Ratio fell sharply in 2024, raising concerns about immediate
liquidity.
Receivable turnover was inconsistent, especially weak in 2023.
P/E ratio was distorted in years with negative EPS, limiting valuation
reliability.
Recommendations:
Strengthen cost control to stabilize profitability and reduce volatility.
Improve receivable collection policies to ensure steady cash inflow.
Monitor liquidity closely, particularly the Quick Ratio, to avoid short-term
financial stress.
Maintain efficient inventory practices to prevent overstocking or slow
turnover.
Align market valuation with sustainable earnings growth to avoid distorted
P/E ratios.
