1 risk signal(s), 1 positive signal(s) detected from XBRL filing diff analysis. 1 positive signal(s) versus 1 risk signal(s). The filing exhibits more constructive indicators than concerns, though individual risk factors should still be monitored.

  • Restatement of financial statements: The term "restatement of" "previously issued" appears in 1 recent filing(s) (vs 1 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • Operating cash flow exceeds net income: OCF is 1.52x net income, indicating high earnings quality — cash conversion is strong and accruals are not inflating reported profits.
  • Endogenous analysis: 1 positive signal(s) versus 1 risk signal(s). The filing exhibits more constructive indicators than concerns, though individual risk factors should still be monitored.
  • 3 new XBRL disclosure(s) in latest filing — expanding reporting scope.
  • 20 disclosure(s) dropped from prior year — reduced reporting granularity.
  • Ongoing high-severity risk language: Restatement of financial statements.
