Parkson has gone through a very challenging phase. Growth can be good and can also be very bad. It's expansion into Vietnam and Indonesia required lots of new capital and its shareholders would be glad to see these wound up to stop further bleeding and financial stress.
Over the decades, Parkstone has disposed various assets and closed down unprofitable outlets. It introduced new businesses (beverages, food, lifestyle), hoping to rejuvenate its business.
It still carries a huge amount of debt and its profit before tax just can about service its interest expense.
The latest quarter shows a profit and that is a good relief for Parkson which has reported losses after losses for so many quarters and years. Hopefully, this is sustainable.
With increasing interest rate environment and its huge debts, its turnaround remains a very challenging task indeed.
