What could break the thesis?
The risk is INTENSIFYING. Inventory levels are expected to remain high or move 'slightly up' as the company builds stock for new business lines (Bus AC, Bar and Plate, Refrigerator components). Domestic suppliers are not yet offering open credit, forcing continued reliance on imports or cash-heavy procurement. (2 intensifying)
“inventory will be settled down because now our inventory in term of existing business of course is same way or maybe slightly up. But other business also we have to build the inventory for other component. ... domestic manufacturer, they are not open credit for us.”
