• G-ALLIED ARCHITECTS concluded a basic business alliance agreement with Tsuburaya Productions Co., Ltd. on September 10, 2026.
• The purpose of the alliance is to combine Tsuburaya Productions’ intellectual properties, such as the “Ultraman Series,” with G-ALLIED ARCHITECTS’ capabilities in social listening, VOC analysis, and digital marketing planning/operations, to jointly promote campaigns for corporate clients in Japan.
• The partnership’s scope includes joint planning and proposals for advertising, sales promotion, and SNS promotion utilizing the IP, marketing strategy formulation based on SNS post data and UGC, and production, operation, and effectiveness measurement of these initiatives.
• The IP licensing is limited to advertising and promotional activities for target customers within Japan, excluding merchandising, goods sales, and video production. The agreement is non-exclusive, with no minimum order guarantees from either party.
• The company anticipates that this agreement will have a minor impact on its consolidated performance for the fiscal year ending December 2026.

This business alliance suggests G-ALLIED ARCHITECTS is aiming to leverage its digital marketing expertise in conjunction with Tsuburaya Productions’ strong “Ultraman Series” intellectual property. The partnership could potentially open new avenues for service offerings in the Japanese corporate promotion market by combining their respective strengths. However, as the agreement is non-exclusive and current projections indicate a minor impact on earnings, investors may want to monitor the progression of specific joint initiatives and their subsequent outcomes for future evaluation.

• G-INTLOOP’s consolidated results for the fiscal year ended July 2026 show net sales of ¥40,399 million, a 20.4% increase year-over-year.
• Operating profit decreased by 38.8% to ¥1,337 million, and ordinary profit decreased by 38.4% to ¥1,366 million.
• Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company decreased by 62.4% to ¥514 million.
• Diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended July 2026 were ¥54.75.
• For the fiscal year ending July 2027, the company forecasts consolidated net sales of ¥48,000 million to ¥50,500 million (up 18.8% to 25.0%), operating profit of ¥3,500 million to ¥4,600 million (up 161.7% to 243.9%), and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company of ¥2,100 million to ¥2,800 million (up 308.5% to 444.7%).
• Significant changes in the scope of consolidation include the addition of two new companies (COMTEC Inc., Cross System Service Inc.) and the exclusion of one company (Vita Co., Ltd.).

The fiscal year ending July 2026 saw an increase in net sales but a significant decline in profits, which may suggest impacts from new consolidations or upfront investments for business expansion. The substantial growth projected for FY2027, particularly the 161.7% to 243.9% increase in operating profit, could indicate the company’s expectation for a strong recovery and realization of previous investments. This forward guidance for a significant rebound in profitability is worth monitoring.

• NeoJapan Inc. announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 2027 (interim period: February 1, 2026, to July 31, 2026).

NeoJapan’s Q2 FY2027 results show solid revenue and profit growth, with strong performance in its core cloud services business. The company’s proactive engagement in AI-related business expansion and new product releases could potentially contribute to future revenue growth. The increase in interim dividend may indicate a focus on shareholder returns.

The fiscal year ended July 2026 saw declines in revenue, operating income, and ordinary income, with a shift to a net loss. This significant drop in net income could be a key point for investors to consider. However, the forecast for the fiscal year ending July 2027 indicates an expected recovery in revenue and net income, which may provide insight into the company’s future trajectory.

• E-infinity published its supplementary financial presentation for the fiscal year ending July 2026 on September 11, 2026.

While sales saw a slight decrease year-over-year, the significant rise in net profit attributable to owners of the parent company is a key highlight, potentially indicating enhanced operational efficiency or favorable non-operating factors. The company’s forecast for revenue and profit growth in the upcoming fiscal year suggests confidence in their ongoing strategic initiatives, including research and development investments and new product development. Investors may monitor how these initiatives translate into sustained performance.

• For the fiscal year ended July 2026, Cados reported net sales of ¥5,883 million (down 22.5% year-on-year), operating profit of ¥457 million (down 51.2% year-on-year), ordinary profit of ¥449 million (down 52.1% year-on-year), and net profit of ¥314 million (down 52.1% year-on-year).

Earnings per share are projected at ¥327.74.

Cados’s FY2026 results show a significant year-on-year decline in revenue and all profit metrics, which the company attributed to reduced order backlogs at the beginning of the period and lower real estate sales. However, the company projects a substantial recovery in both revenue and profit for FY2027, alongside an increased dividend payment. Investors may want to monitor whether the company achieves these forward-looking estimates.

• The Q&A session from the full-year FY2026 July earnings briefing has been released.
• Growth in the renewable energy platform business is attributed to the active transactions on the “RE Bridge” matching site and the growth of “Econohashi” (non-fossil certificate procurement service). RE Bridge registered capacity reached 2GW, and managed/operated renewable energy capacity hit a record high of 393MW.
• The AS (Aggregation Service) business has expanded into low-voltage grid-scale batteries, which have a relatively faster start of operation.
• The mid-term management plan KPI has been changed from total handled electricity (kWh) to total contracted capacity (kW). Total contracted capacity for FY2026 July reached a record 1.4GW, up 38.3% from the previous year.
• The operating profit margin target was revised from over 40% to over 30%, but the adjusted EBITDA margin continues to target a high level of 40%.
• Investment decisions for 10 billion JPY in grid-scale batteries were largely completed in the first year. In FY2026 July, investment decisions for 32.2MW were made, of which 4.2MW have already commenced operation.
• The AS business revenue for FY2027 July is planned to grow approximately fourfold from the previous year to over 2 billion JPY, with the majority of this growth expected to come from external power sources.

The Q&A session for G-Digital Grid reveals detailed insights into its business transformation and growth strategy. The company’s aggressive investments in renewable energy and grid-scale batteries appear to be key drivers for future earnings. Changes in KPIs and operating profit margin targets reflect evolving business characteristics, while maintaining the adjusted EBITDA margin target may suggest confidence in underlying profitability.

• Ishii Hyoki announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending January 2027.
• For the interim period, net sales were ¥8,092 million, an increase of 8.3% compared to the same period last year.
• Operating profit was ¥580 million, representing a 24.9% increase year-on-year.
• Ordinary profit amounted to ¥603 million, up 15.7% from the previous year’s interim period.

• The full-year dividend forecast has been revised from the most recently announced forecast, with an expected annual dividend of ¥41 per share (year-end).
• The consolidated full-year earnings forecast has also been revised from the most recently announced forecast.

Ishii Hyoki’s Q2 FY2027 results indicate a mixed performance, with increases in net sales, operating profit, and ordinary profit, while net income attributable to owners of parent declined. This could be attributed to a combination of factors, including increased demand for AI-related semiconductor package substrates in the printed circuit board segment, offset by slower recovery in the LCD-related segment, underperformance in some subsidiaries, and the impact of RMB appreciation on foreign currency-denominated assets of a Chinese subsidiary. The revision of both the full-year dividend forecast and the consolidated earnings forecast, detailed in a separate announcement today, suggests significant developments that investors may wish to monitor closely.

• Stream Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter (interim period: February 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026) of the fiscal year ending January 2027.
• Consolidated net sales for the interim period totaled ¥16,922 million, representing a 3.9% increase compared to the previous year’s interim period.
• Consolidated operating profit reached ¥169 million, an increase of 146.0% from ¥68 million in the prior year’s interim period.
• Consolidated ordinary profit was ¥167 million (+150.4% YoY), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥99 million (compared to a loss of ¥6 million in the prior year’s interim period).

• “ec current” introduced the “AnyGift” e-gift service in May 2026 and launched a new sales channel utilizing TikTok Shop in July 2026.

Stream’s Q2 FY2027 results show a significant improvement in both sales and profits compared to the prior year. The growth in sales from external sites within the internet mail-order business appears to be a key driver for this performance, suggesting the company’s adaptability to market dynamics. Initiatives such as the introduction of e-gift services and the expansion into new channels like TikTok Shop could indicate strategic moves to capture further market share and may be worth monitoring for future revenue growth.

• gumi reported for Q1 FY2027 (May 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026) net sales of ¥1,628 million, operating loss of ¥186 million, ordinary loss of ¥2,018 million, and net loss attributable to owners of parent of ¥1,868 million.
• The significant decline in earnings was primarily due to the underperformance of the flagship title “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure OraOra Overdrive” (OraDora) and an approximate ¥1.5 billion impairment loss on crypto assets recorded as non-operating expenses.
• The new title “My Hero Academia UNITED SURVIVAL” (HiroSaba) was globally released on August 6, 2026.
• Due to delisting or planned delisting of some crypto assets (FCT, OSHI) on certain exchanges (MEXC, Gate.io, BITPOINT, etc.), the company is assessing the existence of active markets and valuation methods (including potential impairment losses), which may significantly impact financial performance in subsequent quarters.
• In its Neo Crypto business, gumi, in collaboration with SBI Group, launched the crypto asset management fund “SBI Crypto Fund I” on August 1, 2026.

The Q1 performance was significantly impacted by the dynamics of its flagship game and substantial impairment losses on crypto assets. The potential for further impairment losses related to crypto assets, especially given some delistings, is a factor worth monitoring. Investors may also be observing how the recently launched new game and the new crypto fund contribute to the company’s revenue recovery and long-term strategic shift.

• P-Real Quality Co., Ltd. resolved and executed the acquisition of all shares of Fuji Corporation, making it a subsidiary, on September 11, 2026, following a board meeting.
• Fuji Corporation operates “Fugiya Hotel,” a long-established ryokan founded in 1926 in Owani Onsen, Aomori Prefecture.
• P-Real Quality aims to enhance Fuji Corporation’s profitability by leveraging its ryokan operation and management know-how and sales channels, while strengthening its business foundation through the expansion of managed facilities.
• Fuji Corporation’s financial results for the fiscal year ended August 2025 showed net sales of 247,970 thousand yen, operating profit of 8,614 thousand yen, ordinary profit of 11,394 thousand yen, and net income of 11,214 thousand yen.
• The acquisition price is undisclosed due to the seller being an individual, but its fairness has been verified based on evaluations by a third-party organization.

This acquisition appears to be a strategic move for P-Real Quality, aiming to expand its operational facilities and strengthen its business base within its core ryokan revitalization business. The integration of “Fugiya Hotel,” a historic ryokan, with P-Real Quality’s accumulated expertise could be key to enhancing its profitability. Investors may monitor future disclosures regarding the impact on consolidated performance, which is currently under review.

• MediciNova disclosed its Q2 FY2026 (interim) earnings presentation materials on September 11, 2026.
• For the cumulative second quarter of fiscal year 2026, consolidated operating revenue was ¥103,732 thousand.
• The company reported an operating loss of ¥864,190 thousand and a net loss of ¥787,591 thousand for the same period.
• Research and development expenses totaled ¥368,318 thousand, while general and administrative expenses amounted to ¥549,655 thousand.
• Compared to the prior year’s corresponding period (Q2 FY2025), operating income improved by +¥230,249 thousand and net income improved by +¥200,082 thousand.

MediciNova, as a research and development-focused company, continues to report an operating loss. The improvement in both operating and net income compared to the previous year’s corresponding period could be a noteworthy factor in its financial performance. It is worth monitoring how the progress of its drug development projects will impact future financial results.

• Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. announced its Q3 FY2026 consolidated financial results for the period from November 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026.
• Consolidated net sales were ¥141,406 million (up 5.1% year-on-year), operating profit was ¥7,628 million (down 26.7%), ordinary profit was ¥12,205 million (up 5.5%), and net profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥5,725 million (down 36.7%).
• By segment, Agri-products and related business sales were ¥111,893 million (up 3.5%) with an operating profit of ¥6,782 million (down 32.0%), while Chemical products business sales were ¥22,519 million (up 19.5%) with an operating profit of ¥1,873 million (up 31.0%).
• The full-year FY2026 consolidated earnings forecast has been revised: net sales of ¥175,000 million (up 2.7% year-on-year), operating profit of ¥2,700 million (down 74.4%), ordinary profit of ¥8,500 million (down 36.4%), and net profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥4,000 million (down 8.7%).
• The year-end dividend forecast remains unchanged at ¥14.00, resulting in a total annual dividend forecast of ¥24.00 (including an interim dividend of ¥10.00).

While consolidated net sales increased, the decline in operating profit and net profit attributable to owners of parent warrants attention. This appears to be influenced by inventory write-downs in the Agri-products and related business, as well as impairment losses on fixed assets and restructuring costs in the Chemical products business. Conversely, the increase in ordinary profit may be attributed to the recording of foreign exchange gains and an increase in equity method investment gains.

• Shoei Foods Corporation announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending October 2026 (November 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales reached ¥101,320 million, marking a 7.1% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
• Operating profit was ¥4,793 million (up 13.6% YoY), ordinary profit was ¥4,864 million (up 14.0% YoY), and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was ¥3,520 million (up 35.1% YoY).
• All geographical segments, including Japan, the U.S., and China, reported increased sales. The U.S. segment saw a 26.1% increase, and China a 14.2% increase year-on-year.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast (Net Sales ¥130,000 million, Operating Profit ¥5,800 million, Ordinary Profit ¥5,800 million, Net Profit attributable to parent company shareholders ¥4,000 million) remains unchanged from the most recently published forecast.

Shoei Foods’ Q3 FY2026 results show a robust increase across sales and profit metrics compared to the prior year. This performance appears to be driven by price adjustments in response to rising raw material costs, increased sales volumes both domestically and internationally, and initiatives aimed at improving profitability. The growth across all segments may suggest the effectiveness of the company’s business model in navigating various market conditions.

• Trial Holdings Co., Ltd. announced the receipt of dividends from a consolidated subsidiary and the recording of an allowance for doubtful accounts in its non-consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 2026.
• The company received a dividend of JPY 7,500 million from its consolidated subsidiary, Trial Company Co., Ltd., on June 26, 2026, which was recognized as dividends received from affiliates in the non-consolidated statements.
• An allowance for doubtful accounts of JPY 5,461 million was recorded as non-operating expenses in the non-consolidated statements, primarily for loans to its consolidated subsidiary, Retail AI Co., Ltd.
• Both these accounting treatments are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements and therefore have no impact on the consolidated results for the fiscal year ending June 2026.
• The company stated there are no changes to the consolidated earnings forecast or dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending June 2027.
• Retail AI Co., Ltd. achieved an operating profit in the fiscal year ending June 2026, and the recording of the allowance for doubtful accounts does not alter the company’s assessment of Retail AI’s technological foundation or business prospects.

This announcement primarily details accounting treatments at the parent company level, emphasizing no impact on consolidated results. Investors may want to monitor the ongoing progress of Retail AI, particularly its revenue generation initiatives in the retail DX sector. The balance between future group financing strategies and growth investments could also be a point of interest for long-term investors.

• Nihon Parking Development Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended July 2026.
• Consolidated net sales reached ¥40,707 million, marking a 10.5% increase compared to the previous fiscal year.
• Consolidated operating profit was ¥8,515 million (+11.2% YoY), and consolidated ordinary profit was ¥8,906 million (+13.7% YoY).
• Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company amounted to ¥5,801 million, a 20.9% increase year-over-year.
• For the fiscal year ending July 2027, the company forecasts consolidated net sales of ¥45,700 million (+12.3% YoY) and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥6,000 million (+3.4% YoY).
• The year-end dividend for FY2026 is ¥9.00, with a forecast of ¥10.00 for FY2027.

NPD’s consolidated results for FY2026 demonstrate robust growth across revenue and all profit metrics, suggesting effective business strategies and potentially favorable market conditions. The significant 20.9% increase in net profit attributable to parent company owners could indicate enhanced operational efficiency or improved profitability. The company’s forecast for continued sales and profit growth in FY2027, along with stable dividend policies, suggests a positive outlook that investors may find noteworthy.

• For the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (November 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026), consolidated net sales were ¥37,742 million, an increase of 5.1% compared to the same period of the previous year.
• Operating profit reached ¥984 million, a 154.7% increase year-on-year, and ordinary profit was ¥846 million, marking a 357.1% increase year-on-year.
• Net profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by 42.6% year-on-year to ¥129 million.
• Basic earnings per share for the quarter were ¥9.61, down from ¥16.77 in the prior year’s period.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains unchanged, with projected net sales of ¥49,500 million, operating profit of ¥1,050 million, ordinary profit of ¥750 million, and net profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥50 million.

Care21’s Q3 FY2026 results show robust growth in sales, operating profit, and ordinary profit, which could suggest strong operational performance within its core businesses. However, the notable decrease in net profit attributable to owners of parent, potentially influenced by special losses related to facility restructuring, is a key area for investors to monitor. The unchanged full-year guidance suggests the company may be maintaining a cautious outlook despite the strong profit growth in Q3.

• Kura Sushi announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending October 2026 (November 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026).
• Net sales for the period reached ¥189,684 million, marking a 4.4% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
• Operating profit was ¥2,845 million (down 45.2% year-on-year), ordinary profit was ¥3,469 million (down 37.7% year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥2,030 million (down 41.3% year-on-year).
• The consolidated full-year forecast for FY2026 remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥257,000 million, operating profit of ¥5,000 million, ordinary profit of ¥5,200 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥3,000 million.
• During the cumulative third quarter, the company opened a total of 25 new stores (10 in Japan, 12 in the U.S., and 3 in Asia), bringing the total number of directly managed stores to 712 at the end of the period.

Kura Sushi’s Q3 FY2026 results show a notable increase in net sales but significant declines across all profit metrics. This divergence may suggest that while the company is expanding its top-line revenue, it is facing considerable pressure from rising raw material and labor costs. The continued aggressive store expansion, particularly in international markets, could be a key strategy to monitor for future growth and profitability improvements.

• For the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (ended July 31, 2026), consolidated net sales were ¥432,933 million, representing a 5.2% increase year-on-year.
• During the same period, operating income was ¥31,316 million (up 3.2% YoY), ordinary income was ¥34,567 million (down 9.6% YoY), and net income attributable to owners of parent was ¥23,354 million (down 10.9% YoY).
• The Gyomu Super business segment added a net of 22 new stores (28 opened, 6 closed) during the nine-month period, bringing the total store count to 1,144.
• In the Dining Out/Delicatessen business, “Premium Kalbi” saw a net increase of 2 stores to 24 total, and “Chisousai” increased by a net of 17 stores to 166 total.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for fiscal year 2026 and the dividend forecast (year-end ¥32.00, total annual ¥32.00) remained unchanged from the most recently announced figures.

Kobe Bussan’s Q3 FY2026 results show a mixed performance, with increased net sales and operating income, but a decline in ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of parent. This divergence could suggest that while revenue generation remains strong, external factors such as fluctuating exchange rates and rising procurement costs may be impacting profitability. The steady expansion of the Gyomu Super store network and its sales growth appear to be key drivers for the overall business, potentially mitigating some of these pressures.

• Maruzen CHI Holdings announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 2027 (period: February 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026).
• Net sales amounted to ¥90,224 million, representing a 2.5% decrease compared to the same period last year.
• Operating profit reached ¥3,070 million, an 8.1% increase year-on-year.
• Ordinary profit was ¥2,987 million, up 6.5% from the previous year.

• By segment, the Library Support Business reported net sales of ¥20,540 million (up 5.3%) and operating profit of ¥1,526 million (up 10.4%).
• The Store and Online Sales Business saw net sales of ¥35,151 million (down 9.5%) and operating profit of ¥593 million (down 42.6%).

While sales decreased due to significant revenue contributions from the Osaka-Kansai Expo in the prior year, the increase in operating and ordinary profit suggests a potential improvement in the company’s profit structure. This may indicate progress in the business portfolio transformation outlined in its mid-term management plan. The robust performance of the Library Support Business appears to be a key factor in strengthening the company’s stable revenue base.

• Crossplus announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending January 2027.
• Consolidated net sales were ¥28,554 million (down 2.3% year-on-year), operating profit was ¥232 million (down 75.0% year-on-year), ordinary profit was ¥357 million (down 66.7% year-on-year), and net profit attributable to owners of the parent was ¥101 million (down 88.5% year-on-year).
• By business segment, apparel wholesale recorded ¥19,941 million (down 7.1% year-on-year), lifestyle wholesale ¥1,745 million (up 21.8% year-on-year), and retail ¥6,669 million (up 9.3% year-on-year).
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains net sales of ¥61,000 million (up 1.9% year-on-year), operating profit of ¥700 million (down 50.0% year-on-year), ordinary profit of ¥900 million (down 45.0% year-on-year), and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥900 million (down 48.8% year-on-year).
• The annual dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending January 2027 is ¥60.00 (interim ¥30.00, year-end ¥30.00), with no revisions from the latest public announcement.

The interim results suggest that a decline in the apparel wholesale segment’s sales and profitability significantly impacted overall performance. Conversely, the lifestyle wholesale and retail segments recorded growth, indicating a potential shift in the company’s business portfolio. The full-year forecast reflects a cautious outlook, and investors may want to monitor the progress of business restructuring and cost management initiatives in the coming quarters.

• Kikuchi Seisakusho Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending April 2027 (May 1, 2026, to July 31, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales for the first quarter were ¥1,367 million, marking a 14.7% increase compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
• The company reported an operating loss of ¥152 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥315 million in the prior year’s first quarter) and an ordinary loss of ¥145 million (compared to an ordinary loss of ¥229 million in the prior year’s first quarter).
• Net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥49 million (compared to a net loss of ¥183 million in the prior year’s first quarter).
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending April 2027 remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥6,177 million, operating profit of ¥177 million, ordinary profit of ¥227 million, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥137 million.

The first-quarter results show a notable increase in sales and a reduction in losses across all profitability metrics, which may indicate a positive trend in operational performance. This improvement appears to be driven by increased orders from key clients in precision electronic devices and expansion in new areas like hobby-related products. However, sales of robot and equipment-related products fell short of plans, suggesting that investors will likely monitor the company’s efforts to achieve its full-year profitability targets closely.

• G-Morpho reported consolidated net sales of ¥1,928 million for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending October 2026, marking a 17.3% decrease year-over-year.
• The company recorded an operating loss of ¥620 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥90 million in the prior year’s period) and an ordinary loss of ¥542 million (compared to an ordinary loss of ¥80 million in the prior year’s period) for the same period.
• Net loss attributable to owners of parent for the quarter amounted to ¥905 million.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast, which includes ¥3,000 million in net sales, an operating loss of ¥350 million, and a net loss attributable to owners of parent of ¥520 million, remains unchanged.
• Morpho AI Solutions Inc. was excluded from the scope of consolidation during this cumulative quarterly period.

G-Morpho’s Q3 results indicate a significant year-over-year decline in revenue and an expanded net loss, attributed partly to softness in smartphone license revenue and development schedule revisions. While the smart device segment faced headwinds, ongoing efforts in the automotive/mobility and DX segments, including collaborations in SDV camera technology and drone-based inspection services, are presented as key initiatives. The reiteration of the full-year forecast may suggest the company anticipates a rebound in the final quarter or projects current trends to align with its original outlook, making the execution of these strategic initiatives important to monitor.

• Irugurumu Co., Ltd. resolved at its Board of Directors meeting on September 11, 2026, to enter into a basic agreement for the absorption-type merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silver Egg Technology Co., Ltd.
• The effective date of the merger is scheduled for April 1, 2027, with the final absorption-type merger agreement expected to be concluded around November 17, 2026.
• Irugurumu will be the surviving company, and Silver Egg Technology will be dissolved. No shares or other consideration will be allotted in connection with the merger.
• A special loss (loss on extinguishment of intercompany shares) is expected to be recorded in Irugurumu’s non-consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 2027 due to the merger.
• This special loss is an accounting treatment for non-consolidated financial statements and will be eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, therefore having no impact on consolidated profit or loss.

Irugurumu’s absorption merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silver Egg Technology, appears to be a strategic move to integrate management resources within the group and accelerate decision-making processes. This could strengthen the company’s ability to provide end-to-end services, from “tool provision” to “AI-powered data utilization and operational support.” While a special loss is anticipated in non-consolidated financials, the explicit statement of no impact on consolidated earnings suggests that the direct effect on overall enterprise value, on a consolidated basis, may be limited.

• G-Brains (4075) reported non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended July 2026 (August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026), with net sales of JPY 1,433 million, an increase of 14.1% year-on-year.
• Operating profit reached JPY 250 million (up 50.9% year-on-year), ordinary profit was JPY 255 million (up 53.0%), and net profit attributable to owners of parent was JPY 192 million (up 44.2%).
• Earnings per share (EPS) increased to JPY 33.00, compared to JPY 23.95 in the previous fiscal year.
• Total assets stood at JPY 2,360 million (an increase of JPY 303 million from the previous fiscal year-end), and net assets were JPY 1,847 million (an increase of JPY 203 million). The equity ratio was 78.2%.
• For the fiscal year ending July 2027, the company forecasts net sales of JPY 1,707 million (up 19.1% year-on-year), operating profit of JPY 250 million (flat), ordinary profit of JPY 255 million (flat), and net profit of JPY 173 million (down 9.9%).

G-Brains’ fiscal year 2026 results show substantial growth across key financial metrics, with operating profit increasing over 50%, suggesting strong performance in its enterprise AI software business. However, the forecast for fiscal year 2027 indicates continued revenue growth but flat operating and ordinary profits, and a decrease in net profit. This outlook may suggest increased investment in R&D or other strategic initiatives that could impact profitability in the short term, which is a point worth monitoring for investors.

• G-coly announced its financial results for the second quarter (interim period: February 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026) of the fiscal year ending January 2027.
• Revenue for the interim period was ¥3,376 million, representing a 0.1% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year.
• The company reported an operating loss of ¥850 million, an ordinary loss of ¥838 million, and a net loss of ¥843 million for the interim period (compared to a net profit of ¥9 million in the prior year’s interim period).
• As of the end of the interim period, total assets stood at ¥6,051 million (a decrease of ¥780 million from the previous fiscal year-end), and net assets were ¥4,627 million (a decrease of ¥799 million from the previous fiscal year-end).
• The full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending January 2027 has not been disclosed.

While revenue remained largely stable year-over-year, the interim period saw the company incur losses, primarily attributed to upfront development costs for new projects and increased cost of sales in the media business. The mobile online game segment experienced a revenue decline following the conclusion of TV anime broadcasting effects from the previous year, but strong performance in the media business, particularly in merchandise sales and store expansion, appears to have partially offset this, contributing to the overall revenue stability.

• For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 2027, consolidated net sales were JPY 1,281 million, an increase of 2.7% compared to the previous interim period.
• Operating income for the same period was JPY 297 million (down 4.1% YoY), ordinary income was JPY 305 million (down 2.2% YoY), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was JPY 209 million (down 2.5% YoY).
• The ASP business segment reported sales of JPY 618 million (up 4.3% YoY) and segment profit of JPY 474 million (up 5.6% YoY).
• The company launched “AI Customer Forecast,” an AI-powered customer traffic prediction service, in August 2026.
• The full-year consolidated performance forecast for the fiscal year ending January 2027 remains unchanged: net sales of JPY 2,753 million (up 8.7% YoY), operating income of JPY 690 million (up 13.6% YoY), ordinary income of JPY 692 million (up 12.3% YoY), and net income attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 480 million (down 5.5% YoY).

Justpla’s Q2 FY2027 results indicate solid sales growth, yet profits saw a year-over-year decline. This trend may suggest increased investment in new service development and DX initiatives. The continued growth of the ASP business and the market reception of new AI-driven services, such as “AI Customer Forecast,” could be key factors to monitor for future performance.

• HEROZ Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending April 2027.
• For the first quarter, net sales totaled ¥1,643 million, representing an 8.5% increase year-on-year.
• Operating profit before amortization of goodwill was ¥223 million (+40.8% YoY), and operating profit reached ¥180 million (+52.8% YoY).
• Net income attributable to owners of parent turned positive at ¥32 million, compared to a loss of ¥11 million in the prior fiscal year’s first quarter.
• EBITDA for the period stood at ¥287 million (+25.4% YoY).
• AKM Consulting Co., Ltd. became a consolidated subsidiary on May 1, 2026, and ValuSecur Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary effective June 30, 2026.

HEROZ’s Q1 FY2027 results show significant improvements across key profitability metrics, particularly in operating profit and net income attributable to owners of parent. This positive shift may suggest that the consolidation of AKM Consulting and the full acquisition of ValuSecur are beginning to contribute positively to the company’s consolidated performance. The strong performance in both BtoC and BtoB segments within the AIX business also appears to be a notable factor in this growth.

• ACCESS CO., LTD. has announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 2027 (interim period: February 1, 2026, to July 31, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales for the interim period reached ¥10,578 million, marking a 16.8% increase compared to the prior interim period.
• The consolidated operating loss was ¥779 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥1,989 million in the prior interim period), and the consolidated ordinary loss was ¥534 million (compared to an ordinary loss of ¥2,252 million in the prior interim period).
• Net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥588 million (compared to a net loss of ¥2,718 million in the prior interim period).
• By segment, the Network business reported sales of ¥5,745 million (up 116.1% year-on-year) and a segment loss of ¥589 million (compared to a loss of ¥2,594 million in the prior interim period), demonstrating significant revenue growth and loss reduction.
• The full-year consolidated performance forecast for the fiscal year ending January 2027 remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥23,000 million, operating profit of ¥800 million, ordinary profit of ¥840 million, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥610 million.

• For the nine months ended July 31, 2026 (Q3 FY2026), net sales were ¥1,053 million, representing a 2.0% increase year-on-year.
• Operating profit for the same period decreased by 58.1% to ¥68 million, ordinary profit decreased by 58.1% to ¥67 million, and net profit for the quarter decreased by 68.7% to ¥54 million.
• The number of paid subscriber companies for the core SaaS service “Comiru” reached 2,184 (up 15.6% YoY), and the number of billed student IDs grew to 517 thousand (up 6.6% YoY).
• Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) was ¥1,238,121 thousand (up 4.9% YoY), and the customer churn rate remained low at 0.6%.
• The full-year forecast for FY2026 remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥1,425 million (up 2.6% YoY), operating profit of ¥85 million (down 50.8% YoY), and net profit of ¥55 million (down 59.7% YoY).

G-POPER reported an increase in net sales but a significant decline in profitability, which may be attributed to upfront investments for expanding the SaaS customer base and a temporary decrease in ARPU due to a qualitative shift in revenue structure. The solid growth in “Comiru” paid subscribers and billed student IDs, coupled with a low churn rate, indicates business stability. However, the improvement of profitability could be a key focus for investors moving forward.

• Ohara announced its Q3 FY2026 consolidated financial results, with net sales reaching ¥24.23 billion, an increase of 15.0% year-over-year.
• Operating profit was ¥1.395 billion, a decrease of 11.2% year-over-year, and ordinary profit was ¥1.808 billion, a decrease of 7.5% year-over-year.
• Net profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 1.7% year-over-year to ¥1.149 billion.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast was revised upward, with net sales projected at ¥33.7 billion (up 4.7% from previous forecast) and operating profit at ¥2.1 billion (up 16.7% from previous forecast).
• The Optical Business segment reported net sales of ¥13.123 billion (up 18.4% YoY) and an operating loss of ¥178 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥415 million in the prior year), showing increased revenue and reduced loss.
• The Electronics Business segment recorded net sales of ¥11.106 billion (up 11.3% YoY) and an operating profit of ¥1.574 billion (down 20.8% YoY), indicating increased revenue but decreased profit.

While net sales saw a double-digit increase, the decline in operating profit suggests that increased selling, general, and administrative expenses, or changes in product mix, outpaced the growth in gross profit. The upward revision of both full-year net sales and operating profit forecasts could indicate management’s increased confidence in future performance. Investors may find it worthwhile to monitor the differing profitability trends between the Optical Business, which saw a reduced loss, and the Electronics Business, which experienced decreased profit despite revenue growth.

• JEH reported revenue of ¥10,258 million for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending January 2027, representing a 14.8% increase year-on-year.
• Operating profit reached ¥3,503 million (up 21.4% year-on-year), and profit before tax was ¥3,311 million (up 21.4% year-on-year).
• Interim profit attributable to owners of the parent totaled ¥2,241 million (up 28.5% year-on-year), with basic earnings per share at ¥92.67.
• By business segment, Kaneko Optical’s revenue was ¥7,061 million (up 20.2% year-on-year), and segment profit was ¥2,794 million (up 25.6% year-on-year).
• 999.9 (Four Nines) business revenue was ¥3,196 million (up 4.5% year-on-year), and segment profit was ¥970 million (up 2.6% year-on-year).

JEH’s Q2 FY2027 results show significant double-digit growth in both revenue and profit metrics compared to the prior year, with the Kaneko Optical segment appearing to be a key driver of overall performance. This growth may be attributed to ongoing efforts in new store openings and brand value enhancement both domestically and internationally. However, the temporary decline in Four Nines’ overseas wholesale revenue is a point investors may wish to monitor in future reports.

• Itokuro Inc. announced its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending October 2026 (November 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026).
• Net sales for the cumulative period were ¥2.633 billion, a decrease of 13.1% compared to the same period last year.
• Operating profit was ¥471 million (up 20.4% YoY), ordinary profit was ¥562 million (up 21.6% YoY), and quarterly net profit was ¥356 million (up 43.2% YoY).
• Basic earnings per share for the quarter were ¥17.59, compared to ¥12.28 in the prior year period.
• Total assets stood at ¥10.240 billion, net assets at ¥9.616 billion, resulting in an equity ratio of 92.2%.
• There are no revisions to the full-year earnings forecast or dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending October 2026 from the latest publicly announced figures.

While sales experienced a year-on-year decline, the company achieved double-digit increases across all profit metrics, suggesting an improvement in profitability. The significant rise in quarterly net profit, in particular, may be a key point for investors to monitor when assessing future performance trends. It is worth noting that the company cited continued rising advertising unit prices in the cram school portal site sector, indicating that ongoing observation of sales trends and changes in the business environment could be valuable.

• General Packer Co., Ltd. resolved to propose a year-end dividend for the surplus as of the record date of July 31, 2026, to be submitted at the 65th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for October 23, 2026.
• The per-share dividend has been set at ¥85.00, which is an increase of ¥10.00 from the most recent dividend forecast (announced on September 5, 2025) of ¥75.00.
• The previous fiscal year’s (July 2025 term) per-share dividend was ¥70.00.
• The total dividend amount is ¥145 million, with an effective date of October 26, 2026, and the source of the dividend is retained earnings.
• The breakdown of the annual dividend is ¥45.00 for the second quarter end and ¥85.00 for the fiscal year-end, totaling ¥130.00. The previous fiscal year’s total annual dividend was ¥110.00.

This announcement aligns with General Packer’s dividend policy, which aims for stable dividends while increasing payouts based on business performance, guided by a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% or a consolidated dividend on equity (DOE) of 3%. The dividend increase suggests robust performance for the fiscal year ending July 2026. This development could be seen by investors as an indication of the company’s commitment to shareholder returns and confidence in its current financial health.

• Nikko Co., Ltd. announced its Q1 FY2027 financial results based on the earnings call script from September 9, 2026.
• For Q1, orders received totaled ¥14.0 billion (up 34.6% YoY), and net sales reached ¥11.8 billion (up 42.5% YoY).
• Operating income was ¥274 million, marking a turnaround from a loss in the prior year’s corresponding period.
• The Asphalt Plant (AP) related business recorded orders received of ¥5.6 billion (up 27.6% YoY) and net sales of ¥4.1 billion (up 33.8% YoY), but posted an operating loss of ¥179 million due to the mix of old-priced projects in sales recognition.
• The Batching Plant (BP) related business is performing strongly, leading in both net sales and operating income.
• The full-year forecast for net sales of ¥55.0 billion and operating income of ¥3.8 billion remains unchanged.

Nikko’s Q1 FY2027 results show significant year-over-year growth in orders and sales, along with a return to operating profitability, which merits investor attention. The expectation that the Asphalt Plant (AP) business’s profitability will improve from the second half as old-priced projects conclude in Q2 is a key factor for future performance. The strong performance of the Batching Plant (BP) business and the company’s decision to maintain its full-year forecast suggest management views the current progress as in line with their initial plans.

• Toyo Denki Manufacturing Co., Ltd. resolved at its Board of Directors meeting on September 11, 2026, to absorb its wholly-owned subsidiary, TD-Drive Co., Ltd.
• The effective date of this merger is scheduled for December 1, 2026.
• The merger will be an absorption-type merger with Toyo Denki Manufacturing Co., Ltd. as the surviving company, and TD-Drive Co., Ltd. will be dissolved.
• This merger qualifies as a simplified absorption merger for Toyo Denki Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and a short-form merger for TD-Drive Co., Ltd. under Japanese company law, thus no shareholder meetings will be held for approval.
• No new shares will be issued, and no consideration will be delivered in connection with this merger. There will be no changes to the trade name, head office location, representative, business activities, capital, or fiscal year-end of the surviving company after the merger.
• TD-Drive Co., Ltd.’s business activities include the manufacturing and repair of electric motors and generators for general industry. For the fiscal year ended May 2026, its non-consolidated financial results showed sales of 1,012 million yen, an operating loss of 5 million yen, and a net loss of 32 million yen.

This absorption merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary by Toyo Denki Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is stated to aim for efficient utilization of management resources, strengthening product competitiveness, and enhancing integrated group management. As it involves a wholly-owned subsidiary, no new shares will be issued or cash delivered, and the impact on the company’s consolidated performance is stated to be minor. This move could be interpreted as an internal restructuring effort to streamline operations and expedite decision-making within the group.

• INSPEC Inc. announced its Q1 FY2027 non-consolidated financial results on September 11, 2026.
• For the first quarter (May 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026), net sales reached ¥496 million, marking a 401.0% increase year-over-year.
• The company reported an operating loss of ¥21 million (vs. ¥136 million operating loss in prior year), an ordinary loss of ¥31 million (vs. ¥144 million ordinary loss in prior year), and a quarterly net loss of ¥1 million (vs. ¥145 million quarterly net loss in prior year), indicating a significant narrowing of losses across the board.
• Order intake for the period was ¥462 million (down 23.8% YoY), and the order backlog at the end of the quarter was ¥1,239 million (down 35.7% YoY).
• The full-year forecast for FY2027 (Net Sales: ¥2,500 million, Operating Income: ¥150 million, Ordinary Income: ¥100 million, Net Income: ¥80 million) remains unchanged from the announcement on June 12, 2026, as performance is tracking steadily as planned.

INSPEC’s Q1 FY2027 results show a substantial year-over-year increase in net sales and a significant reduction in losses, which may suggest a recovery in market demand and improved product competitiveness, driven by strong performance in roll-to-roll inspection equipment and in-line inspection systems. However, the decrease in order intake and backlog, attributed to the time required for closing large projects, could be a factor for investors to monitor going forward. The company’s decision to maintain its full-year guidance indicates that current performance aligns with internal expectations.

• Macbee Planet Inc. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending April 2027 (May 1, 2026, to July 31, 2026).
• Consolidated revenue for Q1 was ¥12,290 million, a 3.8% decrease year-over-year.
• Consolidated gross profit was ¥2,085 million, a 0.1% increase year-over-year, and consolidated operating profit was ¥764 million, a 1.3% increase year-over-year.
• During the first quarter, Hideyuki Masada was appointed as Representative Director and President, while founder Masakazu Matsumoto assumed the role of Representative Director and Chairman.
• A group restructuring was implemented, involving the transfer of shares of some consolidated subsidiaries (All Ads, Smash), changing them to equity-method affiliates. Revisions to earnings forecasts due to this will be announced once figures are finalized.

MacbeeP’s Q1 FY2027 results, despite a decrease in revenue, show an improvement in profitability with increased gross and operating profits, which may suggest a focus on efficiency. The transition to a new management structure and the ongoing group restructuring are significant developments that could indicate a strategic shift in business direction. Investors may wish to monitor the revised earnings forecasts to understand the full impact of the equity method accounting changes for the subsidiaries.

• Global Style Co., Ltd. announced its non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended July 2026 (August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026).
• Revenue for the period was ¥12,383 million, an increase of 8.1% compared to the previous fiscal year.
• Operating profit reached ¥939 million (+17.2% YoY), ordinary profit ¥958 million (+16.6% YoY), and net income ¥651 million (+29.5% YoY).

• For the fiscal year ending July 2027, the company forecasts revenue of ¥13,671 million (+10.4% YoY) and net income of ¥663 million (+1.7% YoY).

Global Style’s fiscal year 2026 results show robust growth across key financial metrics, with record net income, which may suggest the effectiveness of its strategic initiatives including new store openings, product development, and marketing efforts like “Gachi Suit.” The increase in the annual dividend could indicate a positive outlook on future performance and a commitment to shareholder returns. While the forecast for FY2027 projects continued revenue and profit growth, monitoring the execution against these targets will be important for investors.

• Nomura Sangyo Co., Ltd. released its Q3 FY2026 financial results presentation material.
• For the nine months ended July 31, 2026, consolidated net sales were ¥6,040 million (+17.8% YoY), operating profit was ¥834 million (+50.5% YoY), and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was ¥590 million (+59.0% YoY).
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for FY2026 has been revised upwards: net sales to ¥7,792 million (up ¥432 million from previous forecast), operating profit to ¥958 million (up ¥147 million), and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders to ¥698 million (up ¥149 million).
• The company announced the acquisition of shares in Towa Gravure Printing Co., Ltd., making it a subsidiary, effective November 1, 2026 (scheduled), to strengthen the growth foundation of its packaging-related business.
• Nomura Sangyo also announced the transfer of all shares in Packwell Co., Ltd. to Hangzhou Bingjia Technology Co., Ltd. for ¥650 million, effective October 27, 2026 (scheduled), to concentrate management resources on its core businesses.
• The forecasted annual dividend was revised upwards by ¥33 from the previous fiscal year to ¥122 per share.

Nomura Sangyo’s strong Q3 results, driven by robust performance in its core businesses, led to significant increases in both revenue and profit year-over-year. The upward revision of the full-year forecast, combined with strategic M&A activities—acquiring Towa Gravure Printing and divesting Packwell—suggests a clear focus on optimizing its business portfolio. These moves could indicate the company’s commitment to enhancing its packaging-related business and concentrating resources for sustained corporate value improvement.

• G-Asiro reported consolidated revenue of ¥5,312 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (November 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026), marking a 5.3% increase compared to the prior year.
• Operating profit was ¥964 million (down 18.3% year-on-year), and profit before tax was ¥961 million (down 18.2% year-on-year).
• Profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 22.1% year-on-year to ¥635 million.
• Basic earnings per share for the quarter were ¥89.26, and diluted earnings per share were ¥88.71.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast (revenue ¥7,000 million, operating profit ¥1,500 million, profit attributable to owners of the parent ¥980 million) remains unchanged, with no revisions from the most recently announced forecast.

G-Asiro’s Q3 results show revenue growth driven by its Legal Alliance business, but profits declined due to factors like reduced sales of high-priced products and increased costs for new service development and administrative enhancements. The unchanged full-year forecast could suggest management anticipates a recovery or stronger performance in the final quarter. Investors may want to monitor the company’s strategies to balance revenue growth with profit margins in the coming period.

• SCAT announced a revision (increase) to its year-end dividend forecast for the October 2026 fiscal year, resolved at a Board of Directors meeting on September 11, 2026.
• The revised year-end dividend forecast is ¥7.50 per share, an increase of ¥0.50 from the previous forecast of ¥7.00.
• This adjustment brings the total annual dividend forecast for the October 2026 fiscal year to ¥14.50 per share (interim dividend of ¥7.00, year-end dividend of ¥7.50).
• The revision is attributed to the company’s recognition that the downward revision in the full-year earnings forecast (announced on the same day) is temporary, and its basic policy of “continuous shareholder returns based on stable dividends.”
• The company implements two dividend payments annually (interim and year-end) to enhance opportunities for shareholder returns.

This announcement suggests a strong commitment to shareholder returns, as the company decided to increase dividends despite a downward revision in its earnings forecast. The emphasis on stable dividends, irrespective of temporary business fluctuations, could be a key point of interest for investors. Furthermore, the company’s comprehensive approach to shareholder returns, including two annual dividends, a 10th-anniversary commemorative shareholder benefit, and plans for a regular shareholder benefit program, appears to be a notable aspect of this strategy.

• G-Linkers’ consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended July 2026 amounted to ¥1,353 million, representing a 0.5% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year.
• For the same period, the company reported an operating loss of ¥667 million, an ordinary loss of ¥665 million, and a net loss attributable to parent company shareholders of ¥672 million.
• As of July 2026, consolidated total assets were ¥1,288 million, net assets were ¥465 million, and the equity ratio stood at 36.1%.
• The consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending July 2027 projects net sales of ¥1,569 million (a 15.9% increase year-on-year), an operating loss of ¥381 million, and a net loss attributable to parent company shareholders of ¥393 million.
• The annual dividend per share was 0.00 yen for both FY2025 and FY2026, with the same forecast for FY2027.

G-Linkers’ FY2026 results indicate a slight decline in sales and an expansion of losses, which may suggest challenges in their core technical exploration and matching services, as well as delays in new SaaS system adoption. Continued investment in strengthening sales teams and new product development appears to have contributed to the increased losses. While the company forecasts a rise in sales for FY2027, the projection of ongoing losses indicates that the path to profitability remains a key area for investors to monitor.

• Token Corporation announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending April 2027 (May 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales amounted to ¥94,809 million, representing a 1.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.
• Consolidated operating profit was ¥4,574 million (down 18.5% year-on-year), ordinary profit was ¥4,749 million (down 17.5% year-on-year), and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was ¥3,182 million (down 24.5% year-on-year).
• The Construction Business segment reported sales of ¥37,608 million (down 1.7% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥2,541 million (down 29.7% year-on-year).
• The Real Estate Leasing Business segment reported sales of ¥56,618 million (up 3.6% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥3,968 million (up 2.0% year-on-year).
• The consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending April 2027 (for the first half cumulative and full year) remains unchanged from the forecast announced on June 12, 2026.

While consolidated net sales increased in the first quarter, profits declined, primarily due to decreased sales and profits in the construction business. Conversely, the real estate leasing business demonstrated steady growth in both sales and profits, suggesting a potential shift in business segment contributions. The unchanged full-year earnings forecast indicates that the company anticipates performance improvements or stabilization in subsequent quarters, making the progress of each segment noteworthy for investors.

• Omori Kogyo Co., Ltd. announced its Consolidated Financial Results for the fiscal year ending July 2026, prepared under Japanese standards.
• This announcement provides the consolidated performance for the specified fiscal period.
• The fiscal year covered by these results is from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026.
• The information was disclosed by Omori Kogyo, a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

This announcement provides investors with essential financial data to assess Omori Kogyo’s performance and financial health for the disclosed fiscal year. As consolidated results, they encompass the performance of the entire group, including subsidiaries, which offers a comprehensive view of the company’s operational strength. Investors typically review key financial metrics such as revenue, operating income, ordinary income, and net profit to understand profitability trends and overall business stability.

• G-Astroscale announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending April 2027 (May 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026).
• Project Revenue was ¥2,024 million, representing a 14.5% decrease compared to the same period of the previous year, while Revenue was ¥1,195 million, a 4.4% decrease year-over-year.
• Adjusted EBITDA was -¥2,477 million, Operating Profit was -¥2,750 million, and Quarterly Profit attributable to owners of the parent was -¥3,071 million.
• The consolidated full-year forecast for FY2027 remains unchanged, projecting Project Revenue of ¥12,500 million to ¥17,000 million, Revenue of ¥7,000 million to ¥9,000 million, and Profit attributable to owners of the parent of -¥10,600 million to -¥9,600 million.
• In September 2026, a launch contract was signed with Isar Aerospace SE for ADRAS-J2. While the proposal for COSMIC Phase 3 was not adopted, the company’s UK business foundation remains strong, and proposal activities for multiple business opportunities of equal or greater scale are ongoing.

G-Astroscale’s Q1 FY2027 results showed a year-on-year decline in Project Revenue and Revenue, yet the full-year forecast remains unchanged. This suggests that the company’s full-year projections may have already factored in the impact of certain project developments and the non-adoption of COSMIC Phase 3. Investors may monitor how the acceleration of international defense policies and private sector partnerships will translate into future contract wins for the company.

• TOELL Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of FY2027 (May 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales reached ¥6,959 million, marking a 14.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
• Consolidated operating profit was ¥564 million (up 130.7% year-on-year), ordinary profit was ¥656 million (up 69.4% year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥425 million (up 54.8% year-on-year).

• The Water business reported sales of ¥1,753 million (down 1.3% year-on-year) and segment profit of ¥414 million (up 21.0% year-on-year).
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥29,460 million, operating profit of ¥1,910 million, ordinary profit of ¥2,130 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥1,310 million.

TOELL’s first quarter results for FY2027 show significant growth in both sales and profits, with the Energy business being a primary driver of this strong performance. The Water business, despite a slight decrease in sales, managed to achieve a profit increase, which could indicate effective cost management. While the full-year forecast remains unchanged, the first-quarter performance suggests a positive start to the fiscal year, and future developments in business operations and market conditions will be worth monitoring.

• StemRIM Inc. announced its FY2026 financial results presentation on September 11, 2026.
• Topline results for redasemtide in an additional Phase 2 clinical trial for dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa indicated that 3 out of 4 cases achieved the primary endpoint of refractory ulcer closure. No new safety concerns were identified, and good tolerability was confirmed.
• The Global Phase 2b study of redasemtide for acute ischemic stroke did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference against the placebo group for the primary endpoint (mRS at 90 days post-administration). Exploratory subgroup analysis suggested a trend of mRS improvement in patients with higher baseline stroke severity.
• Enrollment for the investigator-initiated Phase I/II clinical trial of redasemtide for ischemic cardiomyopathy was completed in April 2026.
• The stem cell gene therapy SR-GT1 completed manufacturing process design in 2025, with cell manufacturing and non-clinical trials ongoing in 2026, and clinical trials scheduled for 2028.

The positive results from the additional Phase 2 trial of redasemtide for epidermolysis bullosa could enhance prospects for future development. Conversely, the failure to meet the primary endpoint in the Global Phase 2b trial for acute ischemic stroke may impact future development strategies. The diversification of the pipeline and the ongoing progress of SR-GT1’s development are also noteworthy points for evaluating long-term growth potential.

• G-Waqoo announced a partial correction to its Q3 FY2026 consolidated financial results on September 11, 2026.
• The reason for the correction was the discovery of errors in the segment information figures for the cumulative third quarter of the consolidated fiscal year, originally announced on August 7, 2026.
• The corrections are located on pages 10 and 11 of the attached materials, specifically within “[3] Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Segment Information) Information on sales and profit or loss amounts by reporting segment and disaggregated revenue information.”
• Specifically, sales for “Blood Processing” within the “Medical Support Business” were corrected from 430,408 thousand yen to 365,164 thousand yen, and sales for “Raw Material Sales” were corrected from 417,395 thousand yen to 482,640 thousand yen.
• This correction has no impact on the consolidated financial results or consolidated financial position of the company.

This correction indicates an adjustment in the sales composition within specific segments, which may be relevant for investors seeking to understand the detailed performance of individual business units. The absence of an impact on consolidated financial results suggests that the overall financial health of the company remains unchanged. However, as segment information is crucial for assessing business strategy and growth drivers, scrutinizing the revised figures could be important for a comprehensive understanding.

• Novac announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending April 2027 (May 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales were ¥8,092 million (down 7.8% year-on-year), operating profit was ¥88 million (down 59.7% year-on-year), ordinary profit was ¥70 million (down 67.4% year-on-year), and net profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥41 million (down 70.8% year-on-year).
• Orders received amounted to ¥11,015 million, a significant increase of 211.1% compared to the same period last year.
• The Civil Engineering segment reported net sales of ¥2,599 million (up 15.8% year-on-year) and segment profit of ¥93 million (up 179.7% year-on-year).
• The Building Construction segment reported net sales of ¥5,489 million (down 15.9% year-on-year) and a segment loss of ¥6 million (compared to an operating profit of ¥183 million in the prior year’s period).
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast and annual dividend forecast (¥120) for the fiscal year ending April 2027 remain unchanged from the most recently announced figures.

While Novac’s Q1 results showed a decline in both revenue and profit, the substantial increase in orders received year-on-year may suggest a positive outlook for future sales. The Building Construction segment’s shift to a loss from a profit is a key factor impacting overall profitability, contrasting with the significant profit growth in the Civil Engineering segment. Investors may monitor how these segmental trends evolve in subsequent quarters.

• G-Ridge-i reported full-year results for the fiscal year ended July 2026, with net sales of ¥2,993 million (up 15.4% year-on-year), operating income of ¥547 million (up 93.3%), and net income of ¥407 million (up 191.9%).

• The sale of Star Music Entertainment Co., Ltd. was completed in July 2026, resulting in a gain on sale of affiliated company shares of ¥88 million. Concurrently, an M&A of a system development company (Soken Joho Co., Ltd.) was completed, integrating approximately 80 system engineers (consolidation is scheduled to begin from the start of the fiscal year ending July 2027).

G-Ridge-i’s FY2026/7 full-year results highlight the strong performance of its Custom AI Solutions business, exceeding even its upwardly revised forecasts. The strengthened collaboration with SBI Group and the securing of large-scale projects appear to be solidifying the foundation for future business expansion. Additionally, the M&A for talent acquisition could enhance the company’s AI delivery capabilities, potentially contributing to sustained growth.

• Wesco Holdings Co., Ltd. resolved to pay an increased dividend for the surplus as of the record date of July 31, 2026.
• The dividend per share for the fiscal year ending July 2026 will increase by ¥2.00, from the most recent forecast of ¥28.00 to ¥30.00.
• The total dividend amount is projected to be ¥388 million (compared to ¥325 million in the previous fiscal year).
• The effective date for the dividend payment is October 28, 2026.

This announcement appears to signal an enhanced shareholder return policy, encompassing both an increased dividend for FY2026 and a revised dividend policy for FY2027 onwards. The raise in the target payout ratio from 40% to 60% and the introduction of a 3.0% DOE floor could indicate a more aggressive stance towards returning profits to shareholders. These changes are positioned as part of the company’s efforts to further enrich shareholder returns under its Second Mid-Term Management Plan (FY2027–FY2029).

• SOGO SHOKEN announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended July 2026. Net sales were JPY 16,030 million (down 1.3% year-on-year), operating income was JPY 315 million (down 10.3%), ordinary income was JPY 452 million (up 4.8%), and profit attributable to owners of parent was JPY 313 million (down 1.8%).
• The sales promotion-related business achieved increased revenue due to new store openings and sales promotions for major clients, an increase in catalog production, and new orders for web-related and public relations projects from local governments.
• In the New Year’s related business, despite newly accepting services for New Year’s card applications via websites, the number of orders decreased due to the structural decline in demand, impacting the overall decline in net sales.
• Profitability was affected by increased selling, general, and administrative expenses, including personnel costs, due to investments in generative AI and security measures, as well as efforts to secure talent and improve employee compensation for sustainable growth.
• The consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending July 2027 projects net sales of JPY 16,100 million (up 0.4% year-on-year), operating income of JPY 320 million (up 1.6%), ordinary income of JPY 455 million (up 0.6%), and profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 320 million (up 2.0%), indicating expected growth in both revenue and profit.
• The annual dividend for the fiscal year ended July 2026 was JPY 20.00 (JPY 10.00 decrease from the previous year), and the forecast for the fiscal year ending July 2027 is also JPY 20.00.

SOGO SHOKEN’s FY2026 results show that the structural decline in demand for its New Year’s related business, a core segment, likely impacted overall sales and operating income. Conversely, the robust performance of the sales promotion business and upfront investments in digital and AI technologies could suggest strategic initiatives for future growth. The company’s forecast for revenue and profit growth in the next fiscal year indicates an expectation for these investments to yield results, making the progress of its business transformation and the efficacy of these investments key points for investors to monitor.

• abc Inc. announced the acquisition of Far East Innovators (FEI) as a subsidiary, effective September 11, 2026.

This announcement suggests that abc Inc. may be aiming to expand into new business areas or create synergies with existing operations. While the specific business of FEI is not detailed, the subsidiary acquisition could potentially strengthen the overall portfolio of the abc Group. The ongoing assessment of the impact on consolidated earnings is worth monitoring for investors awaiting further financial disclosures.

• Silver Life Co., Ltd. announced its Consolidated Financial Results for the fiscal year ended July 2026.
• As this is the first fiscal year for consolidated financial statements, and the deemed acquisition date of consolidated subsidiaries is the consolidated fiscal year-end, the consolidated operating results and cash flow situation have been omitted.
• For the consolidated financial position, total assets for the fiscal year ended July 2026 were ¥10,945 million, net assets were ¥7,627 million, and the equity ratio was 69.7%.
• In terms of non-consolidated performance, sales for the fiscal year ended July 2026 were ¥16,212 million (up 8.7% year-on-year), operating profit was ¥1,034 million (up 21.7%), ordinary profit was ¥1,191 million (up 17.4%), and net profit was ¥825 million (up 17.5%).
• The consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending July 2027 projects sales of ¥17,176 million, operating profit of ¥1,115 million, ordinary profit of ¥1,257 million, and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders of ¥847 million.
• The annual dividend for the fiscal year ended July 2026 is ¥18.00 per share (totaling ¥18.00), and for the fiscal year ending July 2027 (forecast) is ¥20.00 per share (totaling ¥20.00).

As Silver Life’s fiscal year ended July 2026 marks the first year of consolidated financial statements, with consolidated operating results and cash flow omitted, investors may primarily focus on the non-consolidated performance, the reported consolidated financial position, and the consolidated earnings forecast for the next fiscal year. The non-consolidated results show increases in both revenue and profit year-on-year, which could indicate business stability. The release of the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending July 2027 is a significant development for evaluating the company’s future growth prospects on a consolidated basis.

• Azearth’s consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending April 2027 (May 1, 2026, to July 31, 2026) showed net sales of ¥2,213 million, a 20.1% increase year-on-year.
• Operating profit turned positive to ¥69 million (compared to a loss of ¥14 million in the prior-year quarter), ordinary profit was ¥69 million (compared to a loss of ¥7 million), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥38 million (compared to a loss of ¥8 million).
• By segment, the Protective Wear and Environmental Materials business recorded sales of ¥1,254 million (+27.3% YoY) and segment profit of ¥158 million (+77.1% YoY).

• The Life Materials business achieved sales of ¥824 million (+13.9% YoY) and segment profit of ¥67 million (+58.7% YoY).
• The consolidated full-year earnings forecast for FY2027 has been revised, with details provided in the “Announcement Regarding Revision of Earnings Forecast” published today (September 11, 2026).

Azearth’s Q1 results indicate a positive shift from a loss to profitability, with a significant increase in net sales. The strong performance of the Protective Wear and Environmental Materials segment appears to be a key driver for this improvement. While the Healthcare Products segment saw increased sales, it continues to report a segment loss, which may warrant monitoring for future recovery. The revision to the full-year earnings forecast suggests a change in the company’s outlook, and investors should review the accompanying announcement for further details.

• ROCOCO Co., Ltd. has determined the specific details of its shareholder benefit program at a Board of Directors meeting held on September 11, 2026.

The offering of QUO cards to shareholders with 100 shares or more could broaden its appeal to a wider range of investors, while additional benefits for long-term holders of 500 shares or more may indicate a strategy to foster a stable shareholder base. The actual impact of this program on shareholder composition and stock liquidity will be worth monitoring.

• P-Shoei Co., Ltd. has announced its non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended July 2026.
• Net sales reached ¥5,600 million, marking a 57.0% increase compared to the previous fiscal year.
• Operating profit was ¥1,619 million (up 63.6%), ordinary profit was ¥1,219 million (up 81.0%), and net profit was ¥824 million (up 39.2%).

P-Shoei’s fiscal year 2026 saw significant year-on-year growth across all key profit metrics and net sales, indicating a strong performance in its real estate business. However, the company’s forecast for fiscal year 2027 projects substantial declines in both revenue and profit. This forward-looking guidance may prompt investors to closely monitor the company’s future business strategies and the evolving market conditions.
