Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 30/100

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

Profitability

Niu Technologies has an operating margin of -7.6%, meaning the company retains $-8 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 5/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -12.0% the prior year.

Growth

Niu Technologies's revenue surged 20.6% year-over-year to $450.5M, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 68/100.

Leverage

Niu Technologies carries a low D/E ratio of 1.81, meaning only $1.81 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 65/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Niu Technologies's current ratio of 1.31 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 22/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

While Niu Technologies generated $7.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $16.4M consumed most of it, leaving -$9.2M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 20/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Niu Technologies generates a -20.8% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is up from -24.9% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

4/9

Niu Technologies passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

-0.27x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Niu Technologies generates $-0.27 in operating cash flow ($7.2M OCF vs -$26.5M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage At Risk

-44.6x

Niu Technologies earns $-44.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$34.3M vs $770K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
