Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

For anyone who wants to understand Ohashi Technica's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit gained from JP¥805m worth of unusual items. We can't deny that higher profits generally leave us optimistic, but we'd prefer it if the profit were to be sustainable. When we crunched the numbers on thousands of publicly listed companies, we found that a boost from unusual items in a given year is often not repeated the next year. And that's as you'd expect, given these boosts are described as 'unusual'. Ohashi Technica had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to September 2025. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items are making its statutory profit significantly stronger than it would otherwise be.
