New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 8.0% a week.

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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (8.0% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (34% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥2.71b market cap, or US$18.2m).

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 34% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things.

These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (34% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.
