About the Company's Strategy

Ride the DX wave well. Support.

Might be a bit of a tough phase, but good luck!

It is growing well and we ask that it continue.

I am happy to see that the stock price level has been rounded up in every quarter. Earnings per share have been growing steadily and we have high expectations for the future. Long-term holdings (permanent holdings).

I hope that Avant's strengths will become known to many people. We continue to support you.

Since I bought your stock last year, the stock price has been stagnant and I would like to ask you to do something to increase the stock price.

The total return was very impressive and felt identical to the company's growth.

Slow speed of product development. Since switching costs for consolidated accounting systems are high for large listed companies, we hope that they will continue to upgrade their systems and improve their stock revenues.

About IR

It is nice to be able to view the shareholder meetings online.

I would like you to post on your website the frequently asked questions that come from institutional investors and the answers to them, even if it is some time after the announcement of financial results when things have settled down.

I would like to speak directly with management.

The various documents on our website are more than sufficient. Continue this attitude.

Since this is a digital company, I would like to see a wide range of information sessions online.

The preparation of the integrated report for this fiscal year was good, but the level of awareness of the report is low. We would like to see more active participation in the media and IR events to raise awareness.
