We Think You Should Be Aware Of Some Concerning Factors In DEFAMA Deutsche Fachmarkt's (ETR:DEF) Earnings
DEFAMA Deutsche Fachmarkt AG's (ETR:DEF) robust recent earnings didn't do much to move the stock. However the statutory profit number doesn't tell the whole story, and we have found some factors which might be of concern to shareholders. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. To properly understand DEFAMA Deutsche Fachmarkt's profit results, we need to consider the €1.1m gain attributed to unusual items. While we like to see profit increases, we tend to be a little more cautious when unusual items have made a big contribution. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is). That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. Arguably, DEFAMA Deutsche Fachmarkt's statutory earnings have been distorted by unusual items boosting profit. Therefore, it seems possible to us that DEFAMA Deutsche Fachmarkt's true underlying earnings power is actually less than its statutory profit. The good news is that, its earnings per share increased by 9.9% in the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. Keep in mind, when it comes to analysing a stock it's worth noting the risks involved. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for DEFAMA Deutsche Fachmarkt (of which 1 is a bit unpleasant!) you should know about. Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of DEFAMA Deutsche Fachmarkt's profit. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business. While it might take a little research on your behalf, you may find this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with significant insider holdings to be useful.

Capital A back in the black with RM689.57mil net profit
Capital A expects to complete its disposal of its aviation business to AirAsia X Bhd by the third quarter of 2025. (EPA Images pic) KUALA LUMPUR : AirAsia owner Capital A Bhd returned to the black with a net profit of RM689.57 million in the first quarter ended March 31, from a net loss of RM91.55 million a year ago. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the group reported that revenue from continuing operations increased to RM414.52 million from RM359.76 million previously, driven by stronger contributions from its non-aviation businesses. Capital A is currently in the process of disposing of its aviation business to AirAsia X Bhd and expects the transaction to be completed by the third quarter of 2025. 'The restructuring also sets the stage for Capital A's non-aviation businesses to chart their growth trajectories, with key businesses like Asia Digital Engineering and Teleport stepping up expansion plans, backed by strong demand and strategic capital-raising efforts,' it said. Last month, Capital A Bhd said it was on track to completing its proposed regularisation and restructuring plan by June 2025, citing continued progress across key regulatory, financial, and operational milestones. The group had planned to exit its Practice Note 17 status by May after receiving approval from shareholders and the High Court on its regularisation plan.
