Beneath the headline profit lay 602 million yen in one-time gains, the kind of accounting weather that passes without leaving the soil any richer. The gap between what a company reports and what it can reliably sustain is one of investing's oldest lessons, and the sluggish stock price suggests the market has already read ahead to that chapter.
