Japan Stock IR Daily – August 28, 2026 (28 reports)

• Interpark Co., Ltd. was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange TOKYO PRO Market and the Sapporo Stock Exchange Sapporo PRO Frontier Market today, August 28, 2026.
• For the fiscal year ending August 2026 (forecast), the company anticipates net sales of ¥823,463 thousand (up 10.5% year-on-year), operating profit of ¥24,070 thousand (down 1.6% year-on-year), ordinary profit of ¥24,454 thousand (down 4.6% year-on-year), and net profit of ¥14,672 thousand (down 50.5% year-on-year).
• For the interim period of the fiscal year ending August 2026 (September 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026), actual results were net sales of ¥407 million (up 12.0% year-on-year), operating profit of ¥8 million (up 20.5% year-on-year), ordinary profit of ¥8 million (up 25.4% year-on-year), and interim net profit of ¥5 million (up 24.7% year-on-year).
• A 1-for-4 stock split was conducted for common shares on July 1, 2026.
• The full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2026 (September 1, 2025 – August 31, 2026) projects net sales of ¥839 million (12.6% increase YoY), operating profit of ¥29 million (21.0% increase YoY), ordinary profit of ¥30 million (17.5% increase YoY), and net profit of ¥29 million (0.3% increase YoY).

The full-year earnings forecast, released on the listing day, indicates double-digit revenue growth but a decline in operating, ordinary, and net profits compared to the previous fiscal year, with net profit seeing a significant decrease. This could suggest that while the company operates in a growing SaaS market, investments in human resources and sales force reinforcement may be temporarily impacting profitability. Investors may want to monitor how these strategic investments contribute to long-term corporate value.

• T&D Holdings Co., Ltd. announced on August 28, 2026, corrections to parts of its “Financial Results” and “Supplementary Financial Materials (T&D Financial Life Insurance Co., Ltd.)” for the period spanning Q1 FY2024 to FY2026.
• The corrections stem from an error discovered in the calculation of scheduled interest for some contracts at its subsidiary, T&D Financial Life Insurance Co., Ltd., covering the period from Q1 FY2024 to FY2026.
• This error led to incorrect figures being published in the company’s financial disclosure materials for T&D Financial Life Insurance’s interest margin (negative interest margin), core profit, and capital gains/losses during the affected periods.
• For the annual results, the aggregate core profit for the three companies was corrected upwards by +6 billion JPY for FY2024, +7 billion JPY for FY2025, and +6 billion JPY for FY2026. For T&D Financial Life alone, core profit increased by +6 billion JPY, +7 billion JPY, and +6 billion JPY respectively, interest margin increased by +27 billion JPY, +26 billion JPY, and +23 billion JPY respectively, and capital gains/losses decreased by ▲6 billion JPY, ▲7 billion JPY, and ▲6 billion JPY respectively.
• It was clarified that the corrections pertain to intermediate items used for source analysis and have no impact on ordinary profit.

The corrections primarily affect intermediate metrics used for analysis rather than the final ordinary profit, which may reassure investors regarding the fundamental financial performance. However, this incident could prompt questions about the internal control and data management processes at the subsidiary. Investors should ensure they are referencing the corrected figures when reviewing historical financial disclosures.

• Remixpoint, inc. has revised upward its medium-term management plan targets for its battery storage solution business.
• The company’s revenue target for the fiscal year ending March 2028 was revised from ¥9.23 billion to ¥12.63 billion (an increase of ¥3.40 billion, or 36.8%), and its operating profit target from ¥1.93 billion to ¥3.24 billion (an increase of ¥1.31 billion, or 68.2%).
• For the fiscal year ending March 2029, the revenue target was revised from ¥11.21 billion to ¥17.12 billion (an increase of ¥5.91 billion, or 52.7%), and the operating profit target from ¥3.11 billion to ¥4.47 billion (an increase of ¥1.36 billion, or 43.7%).
• The company currently owns 10 power storage facilities, with 6 having commenced power reception and 3 having entered the supply-demand adjustment market.
• Remixpoint announced business alliances with Hikari Tsushin, Napil, and REXEV to strengthen sales channels, EMS control, and market operation functions.

This upward revision is attributed to the current progress in the battery storage solution business and the strengthening of its business foundation through new partnerships. The evolution towards a multi-layered revenue model, combining equipment sales with market operation profits from self-owned facilities, coupled with expanded sales channels, enhanced EMS control technology, and optimized VPP operations, could be key drivers for future growth. The strategy to generate revenue across multiple markets may also contribute to increased business stability.

• Olba Healthcare Holdings Inc. announced a partial correction to its “Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026 (Japanese GAAP)” on August 28, 2026, which was originally published on August 12, 2026.
• The reason for the correction was an error in the original disclosure document.
• The correction pertains to the adjustment amount for “Increases in tangible and intangible fixed assets” within the “Information on sales, profit or loss, assets, liabilities, and other items by reporting segment” in the consolidated financial statements and key notes.
• The previously stated adjustment amount of ¥742,808 thousand has been corrected to ¥183,696 thousand.
• Along with this correction, the numerical data (XBRL data) has also been re-submitted with the updated figures.

This correction primarily concerns an adjustment within segment information, specifically a material change in the adjustment amount for increases in tangible and intangible fixed assets. Investors may wish to review how this specific adjustment impacts the overall consolidated financial statements, although the direct change is to an adjustment line item. The update of XBRL data is also a relevant detail for those utilizing automated data analysis.

• STG Co., Ltd. resolved on August 28, 2026, at its Board of Directors meeting, to acquire all shares of Orii Giken Co., Ltd., making it a consolidated subsidiary.
• Orii Giken is based in the Osaki region of Miyagi Prefecture and specializes in precision plastic molding and mold design/manufacturing.

• Orii Giken’s financial performance for the most recent two fiscal years includes sales of 800 million yen, operating profit of 114 million yen, and net assets of 521 million yen for the fiscal year ended August 2025.

This acquisition appears to be a key component of G-STG’s M&A strategy outlined in its “Challenge 100” medium-term management plan, aimed at accelerating business growth and expanding its revenue base. The integration of Orii Giken’s precision plastic molding and mold technologies with G-STG’s lightweight processing technologies could lead to an expanded product lineup and diversified business portfolio, which may be a point of interest for investors. Furthermore, the acquisition represents a succession of a business transfer initiative facilitated by the Shichijushichi Bank Group, suggesting a potential focus on contributing to the regional economy.

• G-Headwaters Co., Ltd. released its Q2 FY2026 earnings presentation on August 28, 2026.

This announcement from G-Headwaters provides insight into its AI technological capabilities and market positioning. The unique X-Tech FDE model and strong alliance with Microsoft Japan could represent significant competitive advantages for future business expansion. These strategic moves to capitalize on the growth potential of the Japanese AI market are worth monitoring for investors.

• Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. resolved to introduce a shareholder benefit program at its Board of Directors meeting held on August 28, 2026.
• Eligible shareholders are those recorded in the shareholder registry on March 31 of each year, continuously holding 100 shares or more for at least one year.
• For the initial year, the March 31, 2027 record date, a special condition will apply, requiring continuous ownership for “at least six months.”
• The benefits include gifts of “Re-S” upcycled brand products (ranging from JPY 1,000 to JPY 30,000 equivalent) based on the number of shares held, and invitations (by lottery) to sports and business-related events for shareholders holding 500 shares or more.
• The benefit details are based on shareholdings after the 1-for-5 stock split, effective October 1, 2026.

The introduction of this shareholder benefit program aims to express gratitude to shareholders, enhance investment appeal, and encourage long-term shareholding. The special concession for the continuous holding period in the initial year may suggest an intention to broaden the shareholder base upon the program’s launch. Furthermore, offering company-branded products and event invitations could potentially deepen shareholders’ understanding of the corporate brand.

• Nippon Oil Transportation Co., Ltd. (日石輸) announced on August 28, 2026, a stock split, an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, and a revision of its year-end dividend forecast, as resolved by its Board of Directors.
• The stock split will be conducted at a ratio of two shares for every one common share held by shareholders recorded on the register as of the record date, September 30, 2026. The effective date for the split is October 1, 2026.
• As a result of the split, the total number of outstanding shares will increase from 3,322,935 shares to 6,645,870 shares, and the total number of authorized shares will change from 6 million shares to 12 million shares.
• The year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 has been revised from 60 yen 00 sen per share to 30 yen 00 sen per share, in line with the split ratio, indicating no substantive change in the total dividend amount.
• The stated purpose of the stock split is to reduce the investment unit price, thereby creating an environment that makes it easier for investors to invest, and to improve the liquidity of the company’s shares and expand its investor base.

This stock split could potentially enhance accessibility for individual investors, which may lead to increased trading volume and a broader investor base for Nippon Oil Transportation. The reduction in the investment unit is generally considered a factor that contributes to improved market liquidity. The announcement that the dividend forecast revision is merely a technical adjustment due to the split, with no substantive change to the total dividend amount, is a key point for investors to consider regarding their total returns.

• San-Ei Corporation announced on August 28, 2026, a decision by its Board of Directors to implement and expand its shareholder benefit program for the fiscal year ending March 2027.
• Eligible shareholders are those recorded on the shareholder registry as of March 31, 2027, holding 100 shares (one unit) or more.
• Shareholder benefit points will be awarded based on the number of shares held and the holding period. These points can be exchanged for group products, discount coupons for online shops/direct stores, donations to specified social contribution activities, or QUO cards.
• The revised program generally increases the number of benefit points across various shareholding tiers and holding periods. For instance, shareholders holding 800 to less than 1,600 shares for less than 3 years will receive 4,500 points, up from 3,000 points previously.
• Specific details regarding the eligible benefit products and social contribution activities are expected to be announced around late January 2027 via the company’s official website.

The expansion of San-Ei Corporation’s shareholder benefit program suggests an effort to enhance shareholder loyalty and encourage long-term investment. The increased points based on shareholding and tenure could be seen as a strategic move to strengthen relationships with long-term shareholders. This announcement, made during the company’s 80th anniversary, may indicate a renewed focus on shareholder engagement and corporate value enhancement.

• G-Welby has published its Q2 FY2026 earnings presentation, detailing its “Business Plan and Matters Concerning Growth Potential.”
• The company’s mission is “Empower the Patients,” aiming to solve social issues such as preventing lifestyle disease severity, promoting medical DX, and bridging healthcare disparities through PHR (Personal Health Record) services.
• G-Welby has a track record of providing PHR services for 44 diseases, including numerous companion PHRs developed in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies and other partners.
• The PHR platform offers a patient-centric data platform capable of integrating data from various sensor devices, other PHRs/applications, MyNaPortal (health checkup information, vaccination records, drug information), and medical institution lab test data.
• The business domains are segmented into B2B, B2M (B2B2M), and B2B2C, with estimated potential market sizes presented for each, targeting an overall market of approximately JPY 1 trillion.

G-Welby’s earnings presentation comprehensively outlines its business model, demonstrating how its PHR platform integrates diverse medical data to support both patients and healthcare institutions across prevention and treatment domains. The emphasis on leveraging MyNaPortal integration for data utilization and offering disease-specific PHRs could suggest key growth drivers moving forward.

• Daiichi Sankyo announced on August 28, 2026, a change in the effective date for the absorption-type merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Daiichi Sankyo Business Associé.
• The original effective date for the merger was scheduled for October 1, 2027.
• The revised effective date for the merger is now scheduled for July 1, 2028.
• The scheduled dates for the Board of Directors’ resolution approving the merger agreement (for Daiichi Sankyo) and the merger agreement signing date have also been revised from May 31, 2027, to February 29, 2028, respectively.
• The reason for the change is attributed to the fact that system modifications and transition preparations related to the consolidation and transfer of business processes associated with the merger require more time than initially estimated.
• The company stated that the impact of this schedule change on its consolidated financial results is minor, as the merger is between the company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

This change in the effective date may suggest a commitment to ensuring a thorough and smooth integration process, particularly concerning the technical aspects of business consolidation. The need for additional time for system modifications and transition preparations could indicate a careful approach to operational alignment. Given that the merger is with a wholly-owned subsidiary and the impact on consolidated financial results is stated as minor, the financial implications are likely to be contained.

• For the third quarter of the fiscal year ending October 2026, KITAC reported consolidated net sales of ¥2.424 billion, a decrease of 4.9% compared to the same period last year.
• Operating income for the period was ¥158 million (down 4.9% YoY), and ordinary income was ¥174 million (down 7.3% YoY).
• Net income attributable to owners of parent significantly decreased by 33.7% year-on-year to ¥141 million.
• As of the end of the third quarter, total assets stood at ¥6.074 billion, net assets at ¥3.691 billion, and the equity ratio was 60.8%.
• The full-year consolidated performance forecast for the fiscal year ending October 2026 remains unchanged from the most recently announced forecast, projecting net sales of ¥3.587 billion and net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥170 million.

KITAC’s third-quarter results show a decline in both net sales and profits across all categories, with a notable decrease in net income attributable to owners of parent, which might draw investor attention. However, the company has maintained its full-year earnings forecast, which could suggest an expectation of recovery in the final quarter. The balance sheet appears robust with an equity ratio of 60.8%, indicating a stable financial position that may provide a degree of confidence.

• G-Batonz reported revenue of ¥494 million for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, representing a 28.6% increase (¥110 million) compared to the same period last year.
• Operating profit for the same period was ¥2 million, an improvement of ¥4 million from an operating loss in the prior year’s first quarter, marking a return to profitability.
• By service, M&A Platform revenue increased by 29% year-over-year, and M&A SaaS revenue increased by 31% year-over-year.

• Key business performance indicators show that the number of M&A support institutions and sourcing support companies decreased by approximately 5% year-over-year, while the average revenue per paying user (ARPPU) increased by 30-40%. PF closure numbers decreased by 3% year-over-year, but the average closing price increased by 36%, and the number of listed selling cases increased by 14%.

The increase in both revenue and operating profit, with a return to profitability, in the first quarter suggests a positive start to the fiscal year. The company’s decision to maintain its full-year guidance, despite typical Q1 seasonality and office relocation costs, could indicate confidence in future performance. The trend of decreasing volume but increasing unit price in KPIs may reflect a successful strategy of enhancing service value and quality.

• For the nine months ended 3Q FY2026, G-inteM reported a 7.7% increase in revenue and a 42.1% increase in profit year-over-year, marking a record high for the second consecutive period.

• Key drivers for Performance DMP’s strong performance include expanded new offerings and improved delivery efficiency through data integration with Browsi Inc., acquisition of high-value new clients, and a clear rebound in account numbers.
• The widespread adoption of generative AI is enhancing the strategic importance of the company’s data infrastructure, leading to a redefinition of its value as a “data distribution infrastructure company” capable of providing “AI-Ready data.”
• The full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged, with growth investments for sustainable future growth, such as system development for accelerating media data sales, new delivery logic development for Performance DMP, and strengthening generative AI integration, planned to be brought forward and concentrated in the fourth quarter.

The company’s 3Q earnings Q&A suggests a strong performance and clear future strategy. The company’s stance on leveraging the rise of generative AI as an opportunity to transform into a data distribution infrastructure company, aiming for a high-profit structure, could be a significant indicator for future business development. The specific details of the growth investments planned for the fourth quarter and their potential contribution to future earnings may be worth monitoring for investors.

• The company announced that the next Mid-term Management Plan (2027-2031) is under review and discussion by the Board of Directors, with an outline expected to be presented by March 2027.

Fujicopian’s Q2 FY2026 results show an improvement in both sales and profit compared to the previous year, with some key products demonstrating strong growth. Investors may focus on the execution of the “selection and concentration” strategy within the “FCX80” Mid-term Management Plan and its impact on performance. Furthermore, the ongoing formulation of the next Mid-term Management Plan (2027-2031), which adopts an annual rolling review method, could provide crucial insights into the company’s future strategic direction.

• Nichi Gas announced a 3-for-1 stock split for its common shares, effective October 1, 2026, with a record date of September 30, 2026.
• As a result of the split, the total number of outstanding shares will increase from 107,951,798 to 323,855,394, and the total number of authorized shares will change from 480,000,000 to 1,200,000,000.

• The dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 has been revised. The year-end dividend per share will be 18.50 yen (equivalent to 55.50 yen before the stock split), resulting in an annual dividend of 110.50 yen (pre-split equivalent), an increase of 0.50 yen from the previous forecast of 110.00 yen.

Stock splits typically aim to lower the per-share price, which may enhance the accessibility of the company’s shares to a broader range of investors and potentially improve market liquidity. The adjustment in the share repurchase limit aligns with the increased number of shares post-split and could indicate the company’s continued commitment to capital efficiency. The revised dividend forecast, representing a de facto increase, may be viewed as a positive signal regarding the company’s shareholder return policy.

• H.I.S. states that the impact on its financial results due to this transaction is minor, and ART Inc. is expected to become a consolidated subsidiary by the fiscal year ending October 2027.

H.I.S. Group’s acquisition of ART Inc., a North American inbound travel company, may suggest a strategic focus on expanding its presence in the North American market. The stated goal of leveraging customer bases and joint tour operations could indicate efforts to enhance its competitive position in this key region. While the immediate financial impact is noted as minor, investors may want to monitor how this acquisition contributes to H.I.S.’s long-term global growth strategy.

• P-REAL QUALITY reported non-consolidated financial results for H1 FY2026 (January 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026) with sales of ¥523 million, operating profit of ¥32 million, ordinary profit of ¥30 million, and net profit of ¥171 million.
• The company transitioned to non-consolidated financial reporting from the 21st fiscal period due to the absorption merger of RQ Leap Resort Co., Ltd. and RQ Isawa Resort Co., Ltd. on January 1, 2026.

• The acquisition involves 1,400 shares with a total acquisition cost of 242 million JPY (approximate), including 235 million JPY for Sadogashima Shoji’s common shares and 7 million JPY for advisory fees.
• The scheduled share transfer date is October 1, 2026.
• G-Safie’s Representative Director and CEO, Ryuhei Sadogashima, who held 20% of Sadogashima Shoji’s outstanding shares, abstained from deliberations and resolutions to avoid conflicts of interest. He plans to use the proceeds from the sale of Sadogashima Shoji shares to purchase G-Safie’s common shares in the market.
• Sadogashima Shoji’s financial performance over the past three years shows a net loss of △31,783 thousand JPY in the fiscal year ended April 2024, which turned into a net profit of 18,754 thousand JPY in April 2025 and 34,082 thousand JPY in April 2026, indicating recent growth.

G-Safie’s acquisition of Sadogashima Shoji suggests a strategic move to integrate its “video x AI” technology with the insurance business, aiming to provide end-to-end solutions from risk “prediction/prevention” to “compensation.” This expansion could enhance value for existing customers and open new revenue streams, with the long-term goal of establishing its own insurance company, indicating a potential transformation of its business portfolio and growth strategy.

• AIDA’s consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026) show net sales of ¥15,347 million, a 17.3% decrease year-on-year.

• Order intake for the first quarter was ¥20,512 million (up 44.2% YoY), and order backlog stood at ¥63,560 million (up 8.8% from the end of the previous fiscal year).
• Sales decreased across all regional segments, including Japan, China, Asia, Americas, and Europe. The Asia segment reported a loss of ¥53 million (compared to a profit of ¥187 million in the same period last year).
• The full-year consolidated forecast for FY2027 remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥80,000 million, operating profit of ¥5,700 million, ordinary profit of ¥6,000 million, and net profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥4,300 million.

The significant year-over-year decline in Q1 sales and profit metrics is notable, but this quarter also saw a substantial increase in order intake and backlog, largely driven by large-scale press machines. This divergence between current revenue performance and future order pipeline may suggest that the timing of order fulfillment will be crucial for subsequent quarters. The unchanged full-year forecast could indicate the company anticipates a recovery in performance later in the fiscal year.

• Central Auto Industry announced on August 28, 2026, that the interim review by certified public accountants for its Q1 FY2027 Consolidated Financial Results (Japanese GAAP) has been completed.

This announcement confirms the completion of the auditor’s review for the previously disclosed Q1 financial results, which may reinforce the credibility of the company’s financial reporting. The fact that the review was linked to a share offering could be a point of interest for investors evaluating potential future capital structure changes.

• Business Brain Ota Showa Co., Ltd. resolved to change its shareholder benefit program at a board meeting held on August 28, 2026.
• The revised program introduces two record dates for shareholder benefits annually: September 30th and March 31st.
• Shareholders holding 1 unit (100 shares) or more as of September 30th will newly receive a 500-yen digital gift.

• The benefit content will change from QUO cards to digital gifts, and social contribution activities previously linked to the program will be carried out separately.
• The new system will be applied starting with shareholders recorded as of September 30, 2026.

This revision to the shareholder benefit program appears designed to expand the base of eligible shareholders and enhance the appeal to smaller investors. The introduction of twice-yearly benefits and increased benefits for long-term holders could suggest an effort to encourage sustained share ownership.

• On August 28, 2026, Takahashi Wall’s Board of Directors resolved to enter into a sales alliance agreement for Hybrid Prestressed® Concrete (HPC®) products with Kooge Concrete Industry Co., Ltd. and HPC Okinawa Co., Ltd.
• The primary objective of this alliance is to cultivate demand and expand sales channels for HPC® products in the architectural market, while also generating new business and revenue opportunities.
• The partnership entails leveraging Takahashi Wall’s existing network for sales activities, validating the applicability of HPC® products in exterior architectural fields, and conducting joint marketing efforts to broaden sales channels.
• HPC® products are described as thin and strong building materials utilizing carbon wire instead of rebar, allowing for reduced weight and concrete usage compared to conventional concrete products.
• The sales alliance agreement is slated for signing and commencement on September 1, 2026, with the company anticipating a negligible impact on the consolidated financial performance for the current fiscal year.

The focus on lightweight, high-design, and carbon-reducing HPC® products could position the company to meet evolving demands in both architectural and civil engineering sectors. While the immediate financial impact is projected as minor, this initiative could signify a long-term diversification of its business portfolio, making it a development worth monitoring for future growth potential.

• On August 28, 2026, abc announced a business alliance with ZoomART Foundation and the transfer of its crypto assets held by the abc Group to ZoomART Foundation.
• The crypto assets subject to transfer include 13 tokens such as “WOWBIT($WWB)” (15,146,940.16 units) and “Fighters Guild NFT” (1 item), with a total book value of 6,454 million yen and an appraised value of 959 million yen as of August 24.
• The total transfer consideration is 20,000,000 yen, to be received in Ethereum (ETH) and immediately converted and sold for Japanese Yen. This transaction is expected to result in a “zero” balance of crypto assets held by the abc Group, both substantively and formally, by the end of August.
• The business alliance aims to promote joint ventures in RWA (Real World Asset) and Web3 domains, enhance the utilization of the Wowoo ecosystem and ecosystem tokens (such as ZMAT), and build a revenue base and improve corporate value through collaboration.
• ZoomART Foundation, the transferee, is based in Panama City, engages in the tokenization and operation of real-world assets (RWA), primarily art, has a capital of 10,000 US dollars, and was established on April 21, 2023.

This announcement solidifies abc’s previously stated intention to withdraw from its crypto asset dealing business, clarifying its business structure by transferring its crypto asset holdings in a single transaction. Concurrently, the business alliance with ZoomART Foundation suggests a strategic move by abc to establish new revenue streams in the RWA and Web3 sectors. This initiative appears aimed at recovering losses associated with the asset transfer and enhancing long-term corporate value.
