The company says it now owns seven self-owned storage stations totaling 14MW and 56MWh, with ¥2bn invested so far.

The transfer sits under the revised special business plan approved on March 31, which is a bureaucratic way of saying the pipeline is still very much open.

Suzuki lifted revenue to ¥6.29tn in the year to March 2026 from ¥5.83tn, while profit attributable to owners rose to ¥439.3bn from ¥416.1bn and cash and cash equivalents climbed to ¥973.3bn from ¥842.7bn. Profit before tax was broadly flat at ¥730.7bn, so the cleanest read is balance-sheet capacity rather than a dramatic margin story.

Revenue slipped to ¥11.77tn, but operating profit recovered to ¥466.6bn and parent profit rose to ¥258.7bn, while equity attributable to owners reached ¥3.37tn. Lower top line, stronger profit and equity: not elegant, but effective.

Sales rose to ¥29.69bn, ordinary income to ¥2.77bn and parent profit to ¥1.99bn, and shareholders approved an ¥85-a-share dividend effective June 24. Clean manufacturing snapshot, no grand theory required.

Sales reached ¥37.66bn, ordinary income ¥3.97bn and parent profit ¥2.49bn. As private-education signals go, this one still points upward.

The group reported ¥23.83bn of sales, ¥6.35bn of ordinary income and ¥3.97bn of parent profit, while its wholly owned consulting arm became a specified subsidiary after its net assets crossed 30% of the parent's. Disclosure threshold, not a new acquisition.

Sales rose to ¥48.36bn, ordinary income to ¥5.36bn and profit attributable to owners to ¥3.88bn. The five-year series in the filing keeps pointing the same way, which is not the worst read-through for enterprise IT demand.

Net sales reached ¥3.82tn, ordinary income ¥75.72bn and parent profit ¥42.53bn in the year to March 2026, all above a year earlier. Big numbers, yes, but still from a backward-looking annual report rather than new guidance.

Shareholders backed cuts of ¥96.4mn in capital and ¥324.3mn in capital reserve, with ¥420.7mn then moved to retained earnings to offset losses. Useful distinction: this is equity reclassification, not fresh cash.

Toyo Gosei reported sales of ¥41.96bn for the year to March 2026, up from ¥38.67bn, but ordinary income slipped to ¥3.59bn from ¥4.00bn and net income fell to ¥2.69bn from ¥3.28bn.
