Context and risks
Komatsu is a heavy machinery manufacturer with exposure to emerging markets and demand for mining and infrastructure. Rising US interest rates (10-year at 5.17%) make financing more expensive for its customers, potentially dampening equipment demand. Additionally, a weak yen (high USD/JPY) is positive for export competitiveness, but global geopolitical uncertainty adds risk to its supply chain and demand in key markets.

Verdict: Hold; the stock has solid fundamentals and momentum, but negative cash conversion and cyclical exposure warrant caution before adding positions.
Main risk: Negative free cash flow conversion (-5.07%) is the main concrete risk: despite accounting growth, cash generation is not keeping pace, which could limit the ability to maintain dividends or fund future investments.
