Conservative Balance SheetZero debt and a stable equity base (~¥1.0–1.16B) give the company durable financial flexibility and low default risk, allowing it to absorb shocks, fund working capital and opportunistic investments without refinancing pressure through typical 2–6 month to multi-year cycles.

Operational Rebound With Revenue GrowthTwo consecutive years of revenue growth and a return to positive EBIT/net income indicate the business model can recover and scale after prior losses. This trend supports sustained cash generation and operational leverage if maintained, improving mid-term earnings durability.

Improved Margins And Positive Cash Flow In Better YearsImproved gross margins alongside positive operating and free cash flow in 2025 show the core business can convert incremental revenue into cash when conditions improve. This supports reinvestment and reduces reliance on external funding in stronger operating periods.

Bears Say

Thin Net ProfitabilityA ~1.3% net margin provides a thin buffer against cost inflation or demand softness, making earnings fragile. Combined with a history of loss years, this undermines the predictability of long-term profitability and limits retained earnings for growth or dividends.

Uneven Cash Flow QualityYear-to-year swings in operating and free cash flow, and FCF covering only ~70% of net income in 2025, imply earnings are not consistently cash-backed. This complicates capital allocation, makes funding capex/dividends less reliable, and raises execution risk over months to years.

Low Returns On CapitalROE near 3.6% and prior negative years indicate limited ability to generate attractive shareholder returns from existing capital. Persistently low returns suggest structural competitiveness or pricing limits, constraining long-term shareholder value creation absent structural change.
