This performance contrasts with the Japan Nikkei 225, which fell by 5.2% on the same day.

Despite a strong annual performance of 47.7%, the year-to-date figures reveal a drop of 8.99%. The company’s long-term fundamentals appear weak, with a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) averaging just 1.64%. Additionally, the stock carries a high Debt to Equity ratio of 1.95, indicating a significant leverage position. Recent financial results have shown concerning trends, including a 33.1% increase in interest expenses and a notable rise in raw material costs by 69.35% year-over-year. The stock's current price reflects a high dividend yield of 2.7%, but the overall financial health raises questions about sustainability in the face of declining profits.
