New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 7.4% Last year net profit margin: 11% This is considered a minor risk.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (8.8% average weekly change). Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (7.4% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥12.2b market cap, or US$81.4m).

Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.2% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥14.9b market cap, or US$99.5m). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Sep 28
