Plan assumptionsThe trading business requires a certain level of financial strength, given the need to procure products from overseas manufacturers and manage foreign exchange risk. As the trading business is a flow business, expanding the business and developing stock businesses are necessary to improve earnings. The cost of equity is calculated using CAPM. For the fiscal year ended November 2024 and earlier, the average Japanese 10-year government bond yield over the preceding 10 years was used as the risk-free rate, while from the fiscal year ended November 2025 onward, the Japanese 10-year government bond yield as of the most recent financial results date is used. The adjusted beta is based on two years of weekly adjusted closing prices relative to the TOPIX, and the risk premium is fixed at 6%.
