New minor risk - Share price stability

The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of South Korean stocks, typically moving 14% 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 High level of non-cash earnings (30% accrual ratio). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (62% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.4% net profit margin).
