For the year, the company revised net sales of JPY 370,000 million, operating profit of JPY 24,000 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 13,000 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 262.03 compared to previous guidance of net sales of JPY 365,000 million, operating profit of JPY 22,000 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 12,000 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 235.88.

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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.7% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.7% net profit margin). Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Nov 21
