  • Compared with its chosen peers, changes in the company's annual earnings are better than the changes in its revenue, implying better than median cost control and/or some economies of scale.
  • 1639-HK's return on assets currently and over the past five years suggest that its relatively high operating returns are sustainable.
  • The company's relatively high pre-tax margin suggests tight control on operating costs versus peers.
  • While 1639-HK's revenue growth in recent years has been above the peer median, the stock's PE ratio is less than the peer median suggesting that the company's earnings may be peaking and the market expects a decline in its growth expectations.
  • The company's level of capital investment seems appropriate to support the company's growth.
