Yamada Denki (9831 JP) lowering the March 2023 div to ¥12/share vs ¥18/share last year was just weird. And bodes badly. We need a lightbulb moment for a lightbulb dilemma.

Buy Toyo Construction (1890 JP) &lt;¥970. The proposed dividend could be in danger should YFO spill the board; but spilling the board to get better governance is a good thing.
