Financial Profile 30/100

Based on FY2024 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Cheetah Mobile Inc has an operating margin of -54.2%, meaning the company retains $-54 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from -31.3% the prior year.

Growth

Cheetah Mobile Inc's revenue surged 17.2% year-over-year to $110.5M, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 62/100.

Leverage

Cheetah Mobile Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 1.73, meaning only $1.73 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 67/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Cheetah Mobile Inc's current ratio of 1.23 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 20/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Returns

Cheetah Mobile Inc generates a -32.5% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from -24.6% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.39x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Cheetah Mobile Inc generates $0.39 in operating cash flow (-$32.6M OCF vs -$84.6M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
