SM Virtual Analyst is an automated review of stored company results and market data. The views below describe the available evidence and identify what to check next.
Business and operations
Revenue, profit, cash generation and the operating measures behind them.
Business assumptions
Follow the operating evidence, compare results with recorded forecasts, and check what funds growth.
- Assumptions behind the price
- The published assessment changes through a formal review. The tests below show how different conditions could affect the business.
- Reported results
- Separate prices, volumes, costs and investment. A market price relationship alone does not establish a change in company value.
- Next results · Date not announced
- Compare what the company reports with the assumptions recorded beforehand. A temporary benefit needs an end date.
Financial results
The latest reporting periods, earnings quality and the longer financial record.

Quarterly sales
Same-quarter comparisonReported revenue in CNY. Growth can include acquisitions, exchange-rate changes and price changes.
Quarterly profit
Operating profit shows the business before financing and tax. Net income can also reflect asset sales and other one-off items.
Operating profit changes
Latest quarter against the same quarter last year. The sales effect holds the old margin fixed; the remaining change comes from the margin. These two amounts add up to the change in operating profit.
Quarterly profit and cash
Cash can move sharply between quarters. Check the four-quarter comparison and working-capital changes before drawing a conclusion.
Working capital and sales
Same quarter one year earlier. Receivables and inventory are balances at the reporting date; sales cover the quarter. Faster growth can tie up cash, but acquisitions and payment timing can also explain a change.
Quarterly results and year-to-date figures
2 completed quarters since 2025-12-31
Year-to-date comparisons require every completed quarter since the annual year-end and a matching prior-year period. Missing periods are not treated as zero. Figures may include subsequent restatements.
Annual results commentary
Sales grew
Annual revenue changed +11.1% between the latest two reported years.
See the figures ↓Margins improved
Operating profit was 33.2% of revenue, a change of +11.2 percentage points.
See the figures ↓Cash covered reported profit
Operating cash flow was 1.05 times net income. Working capital and non-cash charges can explain the difference.

Earnings announcements and price comparisons
Weekly prices are matched only after a recorded results date. A reporting-week move includes other news. EPS from earnings releases may differ from statutory diluted EPS. Historical revisions can change this comparison; it is not a trading backtest.
Valuation and target
The published target, its assumptions and alternative valuation methods.

Valuation methodCash flow across the cycle
Loss periods, gaps or differences in the earnings basis make P/E less useful here. This assessment uses operating profit, capital spending and the balance sheet instead. Loss years remain in the margin history.
No investment rating is assigned.
The assessment checks earnings and, where suitable, an alternative cash-flow approach. It still needs current financials, complete inputs and a model suitable for automatic publication. “Not rated” means those requirements are not met; it does not mean Hold.
- A background review must record this assessment before a rating is published.

Review the evidence ↓Method, rating rules and data checks
Methods are considered by business suitability and completeness of evidence. The model does not select whichever produces the highest target.
| Method | Input checks | Outstanding requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings and historical valuation | Incomplete | A positive weekly close from the last 14 days is required. Four consecutive quarters of revenue and profit in USD are required, matching the share-price currency. The latest quarter and financial snapshot must agree, with statements no more than 150 days old and factor prices no more than 14 days old. At least three consecutive annual results in USD are needed to check whether recent profit margins are repeatable. P/E is usable in 0 of 0 weeks. At least 52 usable weeks and 70% coverage are required; excluding too many loss or missing weeks would bias the target. Positive trailing earnings-release EPS must cover the same four quarters as the statements and be available at the latest weekly close. 52 consecutive weekly price changes are required. Each of the latest four quarters needs a comparable revenue figure from a year earlier. |
| Cash flow across the cycle · Selected | Incomplete | A positive weekly close from the last 14 days is required. The latest quarter and financial snapshot must agree, with statements no more than 150 days old and factor prices no more than 14 days old. 52 consecutive weekly price changes are required. At least three consecutive annual USD results with sales, operating profit and capital spending are required. Four consecutive quarters of operating profit and sales, with year-on-year revenue comparisons, are needed. Recorded cash-flow, investment, debt, cash, preferred stock, minority interests and share-count inputs are required; missing amounts are not assumed to be zero. Missing: revenue (trailing twelve months), ebit (trailing twelve months), ebitda (trailing twelve months), capital expenditure (trailing twelve months), interest expense (trailing twelve months), operating cash flow (trailing twelve months), fcf (trailing twelve months). Four matching quarters of operating income and reported depreciation are required. An unrelated EBITDA-minus-EBIT difference is not treated as depreciation. |
Cash flow across the cycle
This method keeps both weak and strong years in view. It values cash from the operations after tax, capital spending and working capital, then deducts net debt and other ownership claims.
The central operating margin is the median of up to five annual margins plus the latest four-quarter margin, including losses. It is reached over three years. Sales growth starts at the median of four quarterly year-on-year changes.
Starting sales growth is limited to −10% to +15% and moves towards 2% by year five. Depreciation must have a matching reported period and exclude impairment charges. An unrelated EBITDA-minus-EBIT difference is not used. The spending floor moves towards the median recorded capital-spending ratio, with a floor at depreciation. This historical total does not identify maintenance separately from expansion spending. Total capital spending must also cover depreciation plus the assets needed for extra sales. Working capital is funded in proportion to extra sales; falling sales do not automatically release cash.
The central required return is 12%, an SM assumption rather than a measured cost of capital. The weaker case uses 14% with no continuing growth; the stronger case uses 10% with 2.5% continuing growth. Recovery margins, growth and spending also change in each scenario.
Cash after the target date is discounted to that date. Earlier positive cash is assumed distributed, so it is not added to the target. Any earlier deficit after debt interest increases net debt. The model holds the share count and other ownership claims constant. It does not assume future buybacks, asset sales or a refinancing.
This is a going-concern cash-flow model. It cannot establish asset sale proceeds or restructuring recoveries. A negative equity result is shown as zero, reflecting limited liability rather than a liquidation estimate.
Rating criteria
Buy requires at least 15% upside, a higher threshold for volatile stocks, and satisfactory cash, debt and weaker-case checks. Sell requires at least 15% central price downside. Hold covers the remaining rated cases. Failed data checks produce “Not rated”.
For Buy, operating cash must cover at least 80% of statement profit and cash after capital spending must be positive. Debt must be covered by cash, or net debt / EBITDA must be no more than 3 with interest cover of at least 3. The cash-flow method uses the central longer-run operating margin for these debt tests. A loss-making company must still have positive operating cash and cash after capital spending for Buy eligibility.
Publication safeguards. Model estimates below one quarter or above four times the current price require a separate valuation review. Cash-flow estimates also require review when more than 90% of their absolute present value comes from after year five. These are SM review thresholds; they do not cap the calculated value or move it towards the market price.
This is an automated research assessment. The policy has not yet been validated against subsequent stock returns. It does not account for your portfolio, tax position or investment needs.
New data refreshes the evidence. A formal review determines whether the published assessment changes. Editing the valuation controls below changes your scenario only. Saving your case preserves this dated assessment alongside your assumptions.

Conditions for a review
Numerical review thresholds have not been recorded for this assessment.
New results, restatements, material disclosures and unresolved share changes require review. A sustained price change can change the rating comparison without changing the target. Company evidence, risk and uncertainty must still support the classification. Dividends are assessed separately where verified.

A dated investment case
View analyst record ↗Assessment changes
The report can be explored now. A formal background review records the first rating and its reasons.
When we review a rating
Every 90 days
Recheck the business, assumptions and valuation. The target keeps its original end date until that horizon expires. A routine data refresh does not issue a new rating.
When the evidence changes
New results, revised financial statements, a material company disclosure, a change in the valuation method or failing cash and debt checks trigger a review. Same-period guidance revisions require at least 5% for EPS or 10% for other measures. Consensus EPS revisions require 10% and at least three analysts.
Wait for a sustained change
A price-only signal must persist for 14 days across separate completed weeks. Rating changes normally wait at least 30 days and must clear five-percentage-point entry and exit bands. A direct Buy-to-Sell or Sell-to-Buy change requires material company evidence.
Suspend an unreliable call
Missing essential data, an unresolved material event or a share-basis change can suspend a call immediately. An expired target or data check more than three days overdue is not shown as an active rating. Original assessments remain in the record.
A reviewed target normally changes only by 5% or more; a rating change or an expired horizon can also require a new assessment. These are explicit research-policy thresholds, not statistically proven trading rules. Policy sm-review-2-research.

Important information
SM Virtual Analyst is an automated research report for general information. Its model ratings and price targets are not personal investment advice, an offer to trade, or a guarantee of value or return. The report does not consider your financial circumstances, objectives, tax position or capacity for loss.
Reported figures can be delayed, incomplete, corrected or restated. Source checks confirm specific reported amounts and accounting relationships; they do not audit a company, establish recurring earnings or prove that a forecast is accurate. Missing information is not assumed to be zero unless a particular illustration expressly says so.
Valuations depend on the stated business model, assumptions and available data. Scenario ranges are illustrations, not probabilities, confidence intervals or limits on loss. Ratings use the disclosed review policy; they are not an independently validated prediction of future returns. Past performance and historical comparisons do not predict future results. An investment can lose its entire value.
Prices, financial periods, publication dates, model versions and review dates are shown in the report. The dated published assessment is separate from editable valuation illustrations. Unless expressly stated otherwise, price comparisons exclude dividends, fees and taxes. Check the latest company filings and subsequent events before making a decision, and seek qualified advice when needed.
