Market overconfidence may have led to a sell-off, potentially presenting an opportunity if sustainable growth continues. However, investment risks persist with a warning sign identified for China National Chemical Engineering.

China National Chemical Engineering's low P/E ratio may be due to its poor earnings outlook. The potential for earnings improvement might not be enough to justify a higher P/E ratio, possibly affecting the share price unless conditions improve.

The company's lackluster capital returns and rise in capital employed indicates a failure to invest in high-yield investments, worrying investors. With only a 32% return to shareholders in the last five years, prospective high-yield investors are advised to consider other options.

Despite a rise in share price and earnings, the market appears to be lowering its growth expectations for the company, evidenced by the low P/E ratio of 8.60. CEO's lower remuneration and future earnings growth could impact future performance.
