Conservative Leverage And Stable EquityImproved debt-to-equity (≈0.39 in 2024 vs ≈0.21 in 2023) and steady equity/assets provide lasting financial flexibility. This conservative capital structure supports investment, weathering cyclical weakness, and preserves optionality for capital allocation without forcing distress sales.

Demonstrated Free Cash Flow RecoveryThe rebound to positive operating and free cash flow in 2025 (~¥1.56B and ~¥1.53B) shows the business can generate meaningful cash when conditions improve. Structurally, this supports dividends, working-capital needs, and selective reinvestment, helping sustain operations across cycles.

Diversified Product And Trade DistributionA broad product mix (wallcoverings, flooring, window coverings) sold through professional channels spreads demand exposure across residential and commercial renovation markets. This structural diversification reduces single-market dependency and supports steadier order flows over multi-year cycles.

Bears Say

Volatile ProfitabilityLarge swings in margins and profits, including a sharp 2024 decline and only partial 2025 recovery, indicate structural sensitivity to input costs, pricing, or mix. Persistent earnings variability hampers reliable cash returns, makes forecasting difficult, and raises business execution risk.

Inconsistent Cash GenerationRepeated multi-year swings between strong and negative operating/free cash flow point to working-capital or business-cycle volatility. Structurally, this can force short-term financing in weak years, limit steady reinvestment and dividend reliability, and constrain strategic planning.

Returns Failed To Translate From Balance Sheet StrengthEven with a stable asset base and conservative leverage, the company delivered much weaker shareholder returns in 2024. This suggests persistent operational or margin challenges that prevent assets from producing sustainable ROE, risking dividend and shareholder-value durability.
