  • KOSE Holdings (TSE:4922) Stock Hits Lows on Weak ROE, Earnings Decline
    January 17, 2026, 10:27 PM EST. KOSE Holdings' stock has fallen 7.9% in the last three months, prompting a look at the company's fundamentals. The key finding: return on equity (ROE), a measure of how effectively profits are reinvested, sits at 3.0% for the trailing twelve months to September 2025, based on JP¥8.7 billion net profit and JP¥290 billion in shareholder equity. This ROE lags the industry average of 6.6% and aligns with a five-year earnings decline of 9.8%. Analysts note capital allocation and payout policy can affect growth; a lower ROE suggests limited scope to lift profits vs peers. By comparison, the broader industry has grown earnings around 3.8% over the same span, widening KOSE's relative gap.
