Business Plan and Growth Potential

The medium-term management plan, GW-VISION2026, has ended. While net sales and operating margin for the fiscal year ending March 2026 fell short of the original targets, the company achieved operating profitability. The next plan is still being formulated, but the company indicated a direction centered on AI, targeting operating income of approximately ¥1.4 billion and net income of at least ¥1.0 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2030.

The reasons the company gives

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

The impact of AI on existing businesses and the prospects for commercializing new AI-agent-related businesses have not yet been determined, making it difficult to reasonably formulate medium-term numerical targets, including KPIs. The company also explained that, on the earnings side of GW-VISION2026, prioritizing sales growth meant that upfront investment and the development of systems and organizational structures did not keep pace.
