We think this is due to investors...New Risk • Nov 21New major risk - Financial positionThe company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 8.8% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (8.8% operating cash flow to total debt). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results.Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Nov 20Now 21% overvalued after recent price riseOver the last 90 days, the stock has risen 13% to JP¥923.

Meanwhile, the company has become profitable. Revenue is forecast to grow by 33% in 2 years. Earnings are forecast to grow by 210% in the next 2 years.New Risk • Nov 18New minor risk - Financial positionThe company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 41% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Minor Risks High level of debt (41% net debt to equity). Large one-off items impacting financial results.お知らせ • Nov 14FRONTEO, Inc.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (8.8% operating cash flow to total debt). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results.
