- Export-order commentary and demand conditions in key overseas apparel markets.
- Inventory days, receivable days, operating cash flow and debt levels.
- Any capacity-expansion announcement, utilisation disclosure or large customer/order win.
- Track whether management attributes the profit increase primarily to revenue growth, better realisations, lower raw-material costs or one-off items.
- Watch for expansion in denim/textile capacity, higher utilisation, product-mix upgrades and value-added fabric launches.
- Monitor working-capital movement, especially receivables and inventory, to assess whether reported profit converts into operating cash flow.
- Expect peers and apparel buyers to negotiate pricing if the sector's input-cost environment remains favourable.
