It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 6.6% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (5.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future.

Average forward P/E is 13x in the Telecom industry in Japan. Total loss to shareholders of 10% over the past three years.New Risk • Mar 31New minor risk - Dividend sustainabilityThe dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 1.9% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (5.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future.

Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 5.5% 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 (5.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.4% per year for the foreseeable future.

( TSE:4390 ) has announced that it will pay a dividend of ¥17.50 per share on the 28th of June...Reported Earnings • Feb 11Third quarter 2024 earnings released: JP¥0.24 loss per share (vs JP¥8.36 loss in 3Q 2023)Third quarter 2024 results: JP¥0.24 loss per share (improved from JP¥8.36 loss in 3Q 2023). Revenue: JP¥3.10b (up 3.0% from 3Q 2023). Net loss: JP¥3.00m (loss narrowed 97% from 3Q 2023). Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 12% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 10% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings.New Risk • Dec 22New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.4% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (62% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.5% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (13% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.4% increase in shares outstanding).공지 • Dec 08IPS, Inc. to Report Q3, 2024 Results on Feb 09, 2024IPS, Inc. announced that they will report Q3, 2024 results on Feb 09, 2024Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Nov 17Investor sentiment deteriorates as stock falls 19%After last week's 19% share price decline to JP¥2,121, the stock trades at a trailing P/E ratio of 16.6x. Average trailing P/E is 12x in the Telecom industry in Japan. Total returns to shareholders of 7.7% over the past three years.New Risk • Nov 13New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 6.1% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.1% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (13% net profit margin).Reported Earnings • Nov 12Second quarter 2024 earnings released: EPS: JP¥25.23 (vs JP¥50.96 in 2Q 2023)Second quarter 2024 results: EPS: JP¥25.23 (down from JP¥50.96 in 2Q 2023).

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 23% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 4% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth.공지 • Sep 24IPS, Inc. to Report Q2, 2024 Results on Nov 10, 2023IPS, Inc. announced that they will report Q2, 2024 results on Nov 10, 2023Upcoming Dividend • Sep 21Upcoming dividend of JP¥17.50 per share at 1.4% yieldEligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 28 September 2023.

Lower than average of industry peers (2.7%).New Risk • Aug 13New minor risk - Profit margin trendThe company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 16% Last year net profit margin: 23% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.Reported Earnings • Aug 12First quarter 2024 earnings released: EPS: JP¥51.45 (vs JP¥82.76 in 1Q 2023)First quarter 2024 results: EPS: JP¥51.45 (down from JP¥82.76 in 1Q 2023).

Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

New Risk • Apr 08New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 6.6% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (5.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.6% average weekly change).

New Risk • Mar 31New minor risk - Dividend sustainabilityThe dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 1.9% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (5.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

New Risk • Feb 08New major risk - Financial positionThe company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 5.5% 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 (5.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.4% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.0% average weekly change).

New Risk • Dec 22New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.4% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (62% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.5% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (13% net profit margin).
