Market Cap: HK$1.72B

Goodbaby International Holdings, with a market cap of HK$1.72 billion, primarily generates revenue from its Car Seats and Accessories segment (HK$3.59 billion). The company has shown impressive earnings growth over the past year at 507.1%, significantly outpacing the Leisure industry's decline of 5.4%. Despite this rapid growth, the company's Return on Equity remains low at 6.4%. Debt management is satisfactory with net debt to equity at 22.3% and operating cash flow covering debt well (45.3%). However, interest payments are only marginally covered by EBIT (3x), indicating potential financial pressure if earnings don't improve further without reliance on one-off gains like HK$77.8 million recently recorded.
