Admin’s Note

I believe the news that Watami is considering a management buyout (MBO) symbolizes a shift in the company’s management strategy. It’s particularly noteworthy that the management team is taking the initiative to acquire the company, as this allows for more flexible decision-making. Having a sense of optimism about the company’s growth, much like with Chaco, is important. I want to keep an eye on Watami’s future actions and see what kind of transformations will take place.
