One underrated source of info when researching a company in Japan are the company's recruitment sites, which is often a dedicated site. Sometimes you will find nuggets that aren't even in IR, plus you get a good feel for what kind of personnel they're looking for.
If you can't find it in English just search the company name + 求人 and it'll show up
$MHA.L releases another positive trading update. Shares are up ~30% from the below a couple of months ago. Only Revenue and EBITDA released.

Based on fully diluted shares, $MHA.L now trades at roughly 9x EV/PBT & 11x EV/FCF of the year ending March 26.

Many of you probably don't remember what happened after the South Sea Bubble.
They banned publicly traded stock.
But England continued to grow.
It's a myth that once you got some capital market, that it has to be as fast and efficient as a casino.
It doesn't.

Just learned about the beautiful personal library of a German mining engineer called Bruno Schröder.
His entire house was covered in custom shelves he built himself, housing his life’s work – a 70,000 book collection.
Bruno died in 2022 at 88, while in the midst of digitally cataloguing his massive collection. Sadly, he had no relatives and the house, including the books, was handed to an estate manager and put up for sale. That’s when his story and these photos surfaced.

Warren Buffett retires today, most likely in his mind at the closing bell, just minutes from now.
Congratulations to the greatest investor the world will ever know. The returns speak for themselves - Berkshire earned 6,118,651% or 19.9% annually over his 60 years running the company. The S&P 500 returned 46,491%, or 10.4%. Berkshire’s shares could decline by 99.2% and still have outperformed the market. The record is even greater when including the partnerships he ran through 1969.
However, it is not the returns but the way Warren did it that matters most; with integrity and morality - and with humility and humor. He didn’t have to teach, but he did. On behalf of so many of us, thank you, sir.
