Headquartered in Flushing, New York, the company was originally incorporated in 1986 and was known as American Lorain Corporation until September 2018, when it adopted its current name. The company is led by CEO and Chairman Bin Zhou, with a lean workforce of approximately 45 employees, reflecting its holding structure and outsourced operations.
Business Segments: The company operates through several divisions. Its core business is the cultivation, processing, and distribution of tea products, including brick, black, and green teas, supplying both domestic Chinese and international markets. Additionally, it imports and distributes beef products. In the chemical sector, Planet Green specializes in the research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of a range of chemical compounds such as formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde adhesive, methylal, ethanol fuel, and fuel additives. The company also designs and produces specialized industrial equipment, including skid-mounted refueling units, LNG cryogenic equipment, and oil storage tanks. Furthermore, it operates an online demand-side platform (DSP) for digital advertising, allowing advertisers to manage multiple advertising and data exchange platforms seamlessly, and engages in mobile games.
Financial Overview: According to recent data from FMP, Planet Green Holdings has a market capitalization of approximately $17 million. The company's revenue for the trailing twelve months (TTM) is estimated at $8.56 million, though revenue per share is $0.601. However, the company has been facing financial challenges, with negative profitability metrics. Gross profit margin is 15.4%, but operating margin is -193.5%, and net profit margin is -302.3%. The company has negative earnings per share (TTM) of -$1.817, indicating significant losses. The current ratio is 0.703, and the quick ratio is 0.605, suggesting potential liquidity issues. Debt-to-equity ratio is -3.09, implying negative shareholder equity. The company's price-to-sales ratio is 1.996, while the price-to-book is -9.318.
Key Personnel and Governance: The CEO and Chairman is Bin Zhou, who has been signing SEC filings. The company is incorporated in Nevada but maintains its headquarters in Flushing, New York. As of the latest data, the company has 45 full-time employees, a very small number given its diversified operations, which suggests that many manufacturing and distribution activities are outsourced or conducted through subsidiaries.
Growth Outlook and Risks: The company is positioned across multiple sectors, offering potential for growth but also exposure to regulatory, operational, and financial risks. Its negative equity and profitability concerns highlight significant financial instability. However, the company is actively pursuing opportunities in agricultural products, clean fuels, and digital advertising. Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to improve profitability and manage debt.
