The stock reached an intraday low of JPY 2,750.50, marking a notable point in its trading session.

Despite these declines, the company reported positive results in November, including a record net profit of JPY 3,760.39 million and a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 3.91%.

As the company navigates these financial metrics, its market position remains under scrutiny.
