Over the past week, OSAKA SODA has seen a decrease of 12.6%, while its performance over the last month shows a decline of 10.79%. Despite these short-term fluctuations, the company has demonstrated resilience over the past year, achieving a return of 45.7%, closely aligning with the Japan Nikkei 225's performance of 46.92%.
