Management Conscious of Cost of Capital and Stock Price

The Company conducts analysis and evaluation of return on capital and market valuation, determines policies and measures to realize corporate value enhancement, and strives to promote such policies and measures. We recognize that the cost of capital, which is the market's expected return, is around 8%, and we maintain a return on capital above that level. In addition, we aim to achieve growth while maintaining a portfolio balance between Trading and Stable Businesses, pursuing financial soundness and capital efficiency.

In January 2025, we revised our ROE target in the current medium-term management plan upward from "12% or more" to "13% or more," based on the improvement of profitability in the Trading Business and the Hotel Business.

The WACC (as we recognize it) is around 4.0%, the ROIC (as per our plan) for FY2024 to FY2026 is 5.0% or more, the cost of equity (as we recognize it) is around 8.0%, and the ROE (as per our plan) for FY2024 to FY2026 is 13.0% or more.
