Risks: • Profit decline despite rising revenue may indicate cost pressure. • Business depends on manpower-heavy services, which often run on low margins. • Competitive industry with many small and large players. This IPO may interest investors looking for a growing service-based business, but the falling profit trend and industry competition should be considered before applying.
