The plastic container business also experienced difficulties due to increased competition in the cosmetics industry.

- Opportunities: Growth in the Cap business, eco-friendly trends in the glass industry, continuous R&D investment
- Risks: Volatility in raw material prices and FX rates, rising interest rates, dependence on specific industries

Avoid being swayed by short-term stock price fluctuations and focus on analyzing the company’s mid-to-long-term business strategy and financial management capabilities. Carefully monitor the recovery of the glass business, new market development, and strengthening of financial soundness. Preparing for FX and interest rate volatility is also essential.
