eld of 7.4% in ROE (%) 25.6 21.2 19.3 19.6

FY26e; we see the downside risk of rising raw material prices as being less than peers,

from customer loss in the traditional channel for the company’s revenue. However, the 06/25 12/25 06/26

profitability of this channel remains an overhang in the medium to long term, we believe. Target price: 4.70 High: 5.94 Low: 4.02 Current: 4.21
