The full-year forecast indicates potential for upward revision, and outlooks for capital expenditures and depreciation are also presented. There is a possibility that the dividend per share forecast could be raised from 35.00 yen to 45.00 yen, which could be positive for investors who prioritize dividend stability and growth. Monitoring segment-level sales and profit trends will help identify areas for strengthening future revenue sources and will increase confidence in the execution of the medium-term plan.
