The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit
Importantly, our data indicates that Cheerwin Group's profit was reduced by CN¥28m, due to unusual items, over the last year. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual. Assuming those unusual expenses don't come up again, we'd therefore expect Cheerwin Group to produce a higher profit next year, all else being equal.
