The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The company was unable to sustain the high growth required by the Growth Market and reported lower revenue and lower profit for the fiscal year ended July 2026. In addition, the net loss for the period resulting from the funds outflow incident in April 2026 and concerns regarding its governance structure put downward pressure on the share price.
