· In 5 years, HeartCore’s earnings will be $5.5 million. This will be affected by the company’s ability to continue streamlining all operation processes.
Risks and Mitigants
· Hedge for USD/JPY exchange rate volatility.
· HeartCore faces risks of declining subscription renewals, shorter contracts or lower tier-services, targeting businesses with CMS, DX, RPA and AI solutions should mitigate this threat.
· Reduced interest in U.S. exchange listing and success in the U.S. markets could deter new clients. Expand the offering outside of Japan.
