Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Karrie International Holdings Limited is an investment holding company that manufactures and sells metal, plastic, and electronic products across Hong Kong, Japan, Mainland China, Asia, North America, and Western Europe with a market cap of HK$5.15 billion.
Operations: The company's revenue is derived from its operations in manufacturing and selling metal, plastic, and electronic products across diverse regions including Hong Kong, Japan, Mainland China, Asia, North America, and Western Europe.
Market Cap: HK$5.15B
Karrie International Holdings has shown a stable financial position with short-term assets exceeding liabilities, and its debt is well covered by operating cash flow. However, the company faces challenges such as declining earnings over the past five years and a high net debt to equity ratio of 42.6%. Recent events include a decrease in interim dividends and a private placement raising HK$150 million through convertible bonds, which may impact future share capital. The board and management are experienced, providing some stability amid fluctuating profit margins and earnings growth that trails industry averages.
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: Fu Shou Yuan International Group Limited, with a market cap of HK$6.50 billion, operates in the People's Republic of China providing burial and funeral services through its subsidiaries.
Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from burial services, which generated CN¥1.28 billion, followed by funeral services at CN¥276.98 million and other services contributing CN¥37 million.
Market Cap: HK$6.5B
Fu Shou Yuan International Group, despite its HK$6.50 billion market cap, is currently unprofitable with losses increasing by 12% annually over the past five years. The company has no debt, which simplifies financial management and reduces risk. Its short-term assets of CN¥2.8 billion comfortably cover both short-term and long-term liabilities, suggesting a solid liquidity position. Recent board appointments bring extensive experience in finance and law, potentially strengthening governance and strategic direction. While earnings are projected to grow significantly at 69% per year, the current dividend yield of 19.36% lacks coverage by earnings or free cash flow.
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its asset management segment, which contributed CN¥198.78 million.
Market Cap: HK$2.46B
Tian Tu Capital, with a market cap of HK$2.46 billion, faces challenges as it remains unprofitable and has seen losses grow by 58.2% annually over the past five years. Despite this, its debt management shows improvement with a reduced debt-to-equity ratio from 37.1% to 12.4%, and cash reserves exceed total debt, indicating financial resilience. Short-term assets of CN¥1.6 billion surpass short-term liabilities of CN¥717.4 million, reflecting strong liquidity; however, long-term liabilities remain uncovered by short-term assets. Recent amendments to its Articles of Association may impact governance structures moving forward.
