This concentration may expose the company to regional economic fluctuations and regulatory changes in Japan. Outlook for the current fiscal year shows a revenue of ¥12,708.83 billion, with no disclosed growth trajectory for the next fiscal year. The company's capital expenditure of -¥124.69 million suggests a focus on cost management rather than expansion. Risk assessment indicates a medium liquidity risk due to negative net cash after subtracting total debt. The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.69 suggests a moderate leverage position, but the risk of dilution is low. Recent events include the latest actual EPS of 711.46 JPY and revenue of ¥12,708.83 billion, as reported by analyst estimates.
