Explore Community Narratives SEHK:2315 Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Apr 2026 ## TTM net income reaches ¥290.5 million - On a trailing twelve month basis, net income is ¥290.5 million on ¥1.6b of revenue, compared with ¥33.5 million of net income on ¥980.5 million of revenue a year earlier. - What stands out for a bullish view is how this earnings ramp aligns with the idea of a “platform plus pipeline” story. However, the data also show that most of the progress is still coming from the existing business rather than any sudden single product shift: - Trailing EPS moved from ¥0.08 to ¥0.72 over the same period, which is a very large increase and heavily supports bulls who focus on earnings momentum. - At the same time, quarterly revenue in Q1 2026 of ¥433.1 million is relatively close to Q4 2025 at ¥437.9 million. Anyone taking the bullish view still has to keep in mind that the recent strength is spread across several quarters instead of being driven by a one off surge. ## 18.6% margin versus 7.6% last year - The trailing net margin sits at 18.6%, up from 7.6% a year earlier, while quarterly net income excluding extra items has ranged from ¥24.0 million in Q1 2025 to ¥135.8 million in Q4 2024 and ¥104.0 million in Q1 2026. - Bears often worry that a company focused on drug development will struggle to keep profitability steady. The current figures partly challenge that view but also give them something to point to: - The move in trailing net income from ¥33.5 million to ¥290.5 million supports the argument that margins at 18.6% are currently healthier than before, which runs against a bearish claim that the business cannot reach solid profitability. - However, quarterly swings in net income from ¥23.9995 million to ¥135.8 million and then ¥104.0 million mean critics can still argue that profit levels move around a fair bit, which fits a more cautious stance on how smooth future margins may be. Investors who want to see how these margin trends fit into the wider debate about the stock can go deeper into both the optimistic and cautious takes in one place: Curious how numbers become stories that shape markets?
