In response to disappointing Q2 results, a weak performance overseas and a revision down to the Industrial IT Solutions business, NRI shares were sold down -9% on 31 Oct.

IIJ’s Dilemma: Go Big or Go Big and Small? Internet Initiative Japan (3774 JT) has a dilemma on its hands which their Q2 FY23 results illustrated vividly.

On the o...
