Financial
In 2007, the firm began a long 'exit' from the U.S. market to improve its profitability. As a result, revenue declined and only began to improve in 2015 with Europe contributing to a majority of the growth. Asia Pacific began to show sign of improvement in 2018. Recent Coronavirus epidemic could sustained demand for healthcare apparels in 2019/2020.
Leverage
Debt started increasing again in 2017 mostly to boost cash & equivalent and Other non-current asset.
Management
In 2018, Chairman Clement Yang relinquished the CEO position to his son William Yang.
Opinion
The financial of the company started to show marginal improvement from 2016.
With net margin of less than 2%, it is generally a mediocre business with admirable attempt to improve her performance.
Having said, Medtecs was a favourite speculative stock in times of extreme seasonal haze and now novel-coronavirus.
