The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
Importantly, our data indicates that Jianshe Industry Group (Yunnan)'s profit received a boost of CN¥28m in unusual items, over the last year. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And that's as you'd expect, given these boosts are described as 'unusual'. Jianshe Industry Group (Yunnan) had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to June 2024. All else being equal, this would likely have the effect of making the statutory profit a poor guide to underlying earnings power.
