New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 5.1% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates 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. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (155% payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (5.1% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.4% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.5% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (JP¥4.06b market cap, or US$28.2m). New Risk • Jun 23
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.5% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (155% payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.4% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.5% increase in shares outstanding).
