Spic Yuanda Environmental-ProtectionLtd (SHSE:600292)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Spic Yuanda Environmental-Protection Co., Ltd. is a company focused on environmental protection solutions, with a market capitalization of CN¥9.99 billion.

Operations: Spic Yuanda derives its revenue primarily from environmental protection solutions. The company's financial data lacks specific figures on revenue segments, making it challenging to provide a detailed breakdown of cost structures or profit margins.

Spic Yuanda, a smaller player in the environmental protection sector, has shown robust earnings growth of 176% over the past year, outpacing its industry. Despite this impressive performance, its earnings have decreased by 26.7% annually over the last five years. The net debt to equity ratio sits comfortably at 14%, indicating a satisfactory debt level. Trading at 65% below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation in the market. Recent volatility in share price may concern some investors; however, interest payments are well covered by EBIT at nearly 30 times coverage, highlighting financial resilience amidst market fluctuations.

Their earnings growth of 56.1% last year outpaced the industry's -13.4%, reflecting robust performance and high-quality earnings. The company also offers value with a price-to-earnings ratio of 45.1x, below the industry average of 59.8x, suggesting potential for investors seeking opportunities in this space despite no recent share repurchases under their buyback program announced earlier in February 2024 for CNY76 million.
