New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has an unstable dividend paying track record. The dividend has had an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Dividend yield: 1.9% This is considered a minor risk. If the company has cut or reduced its dividend in the past, it may be a sign that the underlying business is too cyclical to consistently maintain or grow the dividend over the long-term. It may also indicate the company prioritizes other outcomes instead of maintaining the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jul 28

CKD Discloses 178 Million Yen Embezzlement and Implements Control Reforms CKD reported that a former accounting staff member at subsidiary CKD GLOBAL SERVICE CORP. embezzled ¥178 million over several years by transferring funds from company accounts to a personal account, with the loss fully booked in the year ended 31 March 2026 and legal action under way.
The company is tightening internal controls, reviewing accounting processes, strengthening compliance training and cutting executive pay at the subsidiary, signaling a governance response that goes beyond the individual misconduct.
CKD shares trade at ¥6,860, with the stock up 116.1% year to date, indicating strong recent share price appreciation despite the disclosed loss.
The key question now is whether CKD’s control upgrades and executive pay cuts convince investors that the embezzlement was an isolated failure rather than a broader oversight issue, since governance quality often feeds directly into perceived risk. Board Change • Jul 01
