A 90% drop in profit seems high but we need a historical perspective or a graph to understand what this really means.

If a company makes 100 yen profit one year and then a 1 yen profit the next, that's a 99% profit drop. Likewise if they make 1 yen one year and 10 000 yen the next, that's a 1 000 000% increase.

I know the numbers are bigger in this case but a 92.4% fall would have more meaning if we could also see a graph of the last 10 years profit.

I think if youre really interested a graph and a P&L account might be useful. For most of us though, the message is clear, ANA have had a collapse in profits and will be clenching for a while. Keep your eye out for some serious cost cutting.

All Nippon airways under income fall. Good many investors can buy ANA shares at lower price.
