Operations: The company generates revenue from various segments, including Product Design Services (HK$57.80 million), Interior Design Services (HK$197.35 million), and Interior Decorating and Furnishing Services (HK$104.94 million).

Market Cap: HK$285.35M

Steve Leung Design Group Limited, with a market cap of HK$285.35 million, has seen its debt to equity ratio rise from 1.1% to 6.5% over five years, yet its debt is well covered by operating cash flow (114.6%). Despite being unprofitable with a negative Return on Equity of -3.11%, the company’s short-term assets (HK$358.3M) comfortably cover both short-term and long-term liabilities (HK$136M and HK$23.3M respectively). Recent earnings show a reduced net loss compared to last year, but interest coverage remains weak at 0.1x EBIT, indicating financial challenges ahead for this penny stock contender.
