Askul <2678> has significantly dropped. Last weekend, it announced its first-half financial results, with an operating profit of 6.03 billion yen, a decrease of 16.8% compared to the same period last year. For the period from September to November, the profit was 3.45 billion yen, a decline of 21.8%, with the rate of profit decrease expanding. The unchanged full-year plan is for 18 billion yen, which represents a 6.2% increase from the previous year, but downward pressure is appearing. The number of customers has decreased due to intermittent price increases and changes in delivery costs, and it seems that the gross profit margin is also declining due to foreign exchange impacts. It aims to recover its foreign exchange position and improve the logistics cost ratio from the second half onward.
