Meiho now expects a ¥40mn net loss for the year ending June 2026, not the ¥200mn profit it guided before, after deciding to book about ¥280mn of goodwill impairment at Resonagate. Sales guidance stayed at ¥13.5bn, but operating profit was cut to ¥490mn from ¥540mn as management cited higher recruiting costs, weak pricing power in clerical staffing and slower demand as AI, RPA and BPO spread.

Def consulting reported ¥854.1mn in sales for the year to March 2026, but booked an ordinary loss of ¥2.15bn and a net loss of ¥2.15bn. Financing activities brought in ¥4.22bn while investing used ¥3.31bn, meaning the funding flows were far larger than the revenue line.

Daiwa Securities Group reported ¥1.47tn in operating revenue, ¥720.4bn in net operating revenue, ¥234.5bn in ordinary income and ¥175.3bn in parent profit. The figures are group totals rather than a business-line bridge, but they are enough to show the scale of the latest year.

Aozora Bank's annual report fixes the recovery in audited numbers: parent profit swung to ¥25.7bn from a ¥49.9bn loss, while ordinary income rose to ¥242.3bn from ¥231.5bn. Total assets ended the year at ¥8.60tn and net assets at ¥491.6bn, enough to say the bank finished not just back in the black but on a sturdier balance-sheet footing.

The logistics group says its board is effective, but wants to delegate more routine matters to executives so directors can spend more time on strategy. Management also says future big investments and M&A should face deeper debate on fit, capital efficiency, synergies and risk.

The food group posted ¥1.07tn of net sales, ¥30.40bn of ordinary income and ¥20.23bn of parent profit in the year to March 2026. The filing is short on drivers, but it is clear on direction: sales kept rising and profit recovered with them.

Hirogin's audited annual report shows ordinary income of ¥251.21bn, ordinary profit of ¥62.02bn and parent profit of ¥43.73bn on total assets of ¥12.21tn.

Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group's audited annual report shows ordinary income of ¥2.98tn, profit attributable of ¥317.6bn, trust fees of ¥125.4bn and total assets of ¥82.17tn. The more durable signal is the fee line: trust fees rose from ¥120.9bn a year earlier even as the balance sheet expanded, suggesting the franchise grew on more than bulk alone.

Rising says a May board decision had already lifted its payout ratio target to 30% from 20% and raised the year-end dividend forecast for the year to March 2026 to ¥48.85 per share from ¥38.84. The interesting part is not the richer payout by itself but that the fuller explanation is only arriving now.

The company corrected projected full-year EPS to ¥72.92 from ¥101.66, but left net sales at ¥8.56bn, operating income at ¥753mn and profit attributable at ¥391mn. So this is a per-share math repair, not a fresh change in the underlying business plan.

The 29th option series can be exercised only if Helios wins domestic approval for HLCM051 in ARDS and records at least ¥1.5bn of revenue in any year through 2032. Full exercise would equal 9.0% of shares outstanding, while the same-day 28th, 29th and 30th series together reach 14.0% dilution.

Japan reopened the search for the body that will run a city-gas disaster-resilience subsidy after saying the June 11 round had deficiencies. The downstream program is aimed at helping smaller gas pipeline operators buy equipment for faster disaster recovery, but the immediate snag is administrative, not operational.

Full-year sales guidance falls to ¥30.0bn from ¥31.0bn and operating profit to ¥2.7bn from ¥3.1bn because Daiei Electronics will leave consolidation. Net income guidance rises to ¥3.0bn from ¥2.0bn because the subsidiary sale creates an extraordinary gain, which is a very different sort of good news.

The REIT reported ¥6.11bn of revenue, ¥2.57bn of net profit and a ¥1,349 distribution for the half-year to April, then agreed to buy Smile Hotel Kumagaya for ¥1.20bn. Management still guides distributions down to ¥1,290 and then ¥1,225, so the acquisition looks more like support than a new growth leg.

Ichigo Office sold an Oita building at 1.7 times book value, realizing about ¥519mn of gain and placing ¥101mn into a dividend reserve instead of paying it straight out. It then recycled capital into office acquisitions in Tachikawa and Funabashi worth ¥5.56bn combined, a cleaner illustration than usual of how Japanese REITs try to turn one disposal into both portfolio upgrade and payout smoothing.

Tosei Reit paid ¥3,926 per unit for the half-year to April and guides the next two periods at ¥3,826. The first forecast is matched by per-unit profit; the second is not, with the filing explicitly relying on an internal-reserve drawdown. A small third-party allotment to sponsor Tosei is also earmarked mainly for debt repayment after the May purchase of TR Garden Yokohama Nakata.

NTT UD REIT's April half-year revenue slipped 1.8% to ¥13.0bn, but net income rose 31.7% to ¥5.1bn after a partial Shinbashi sale gain, and the current distribution held at ¥3,140. Management guides to ¥3,100 for each of the next two periods with reserve reversals built in, while also adding a ¥1.05bn Osaka housing acquisition, a refinancing loan and a buyback of up to 22,000 units.

Columbia Works will repurchase up to 86,000 shares, or 1.1% of issued stock, from June 19 to July 10 for as much as ¥220mn. The same board meeting also started preparations for a move from the Standard market to Prime around spring 2027, though the company says the application timing is undecided and approval is not assured.

KDX delivered a ¥4,166 distribution for the half-year to April on ¥39.84bn of revenue and ¥17.04bn of net income, and guides to ¥4,227 in each of the next two periods. The catch is that forecast net income falls in the first of those periods, while payout support comes from planned reserve withdrawals; a separate buyback of up to 50,000 units, or ¥6.0bn, sits alongside guidance rather than inside it.

PostPrime will let Cybridge vote 20,980 rights tied to 2,098,000 shares issued after the May 31 record date at its August 26 AGM, giving the new holder 33.42% of the meeting's votes under the company's method. The company says it wants the meeting to reflect shareholder intent closer to the date itself; investors may prefer record dates for exactly the opposite reason. The timing also lands as PostPrime buys Infinity Life for ¥105mn in cash to push into business succession and M&A intermediation.
