Japan Electronics Company News (Page 9)

Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed electronics companies, in English.

  1. Optoelectronics Breaches Loan Covenants on ¥587.6mn as Interim Loss Widens

    Optoelectronics breached financial covenants on ¥587.6mn of bank loans and widened its interim net loss to ¥287mn, triggering a going-concern flag it says its ¥5.15bn cash pile and steady lender relations resolve for now.

  2. Tokyo Electron's First Buyback Month: ¥11.5bn Spent, Just 2.76% of Shares Retired

    A monthly filing shows Tokyo Electron spent ¥11.47bn to retire only 2.76% of the shares authorized under its new buyback, already using 7.65% of the ¥150bn budget the board approved in May.

  3. JDI to Wind Down Hong Kong Sales Unit After Revenue Falls 88% in Two Years

    Japan Display's board has voted to dissolve JDI Hong Kong Limited after the unit's revenue collapsed from $636.6mn to $79.2mn in two years; operations stop September 30, 2026, as part of a wider overseas sales reshuffle.

  4. Tamagawa's Fukuoka Battery Plant Links to the Grid Ahead of Schedule

    A small Tokyo-listed renewables holding company connected its ¥684mn, 8 MWh battery station in Fukuoka to Kyushu Electric's grid on July 1, ahead of schedule, and is now angling for a spot in Japan's balancing market once the August handover closes.

  5. Noritsu Koki admits late disclosure on Senqcia acquisition

    The catch: Noritsu Koki says a report required after its January 15 decision to buy Senqcia was left unfiled until July 3, even though the target had ¥35.41bn in sales in the year ended March 2025.

  6. Abalance probe says legacy IT deal lacked economic substance

    The finding: Abalance's committee said a ¥30mn LPWA prototype order later carried at Abit lacked economic substance, making ¥25mn of booked sales inappropriate, while stopping short of concluding the accounting was intentional.

  7. Renesas flags material impact from timing-business sale to SiTime

    Renesas says the disposal, agreed in February and expected to close by the end of 2026, will significantly affect its financial position, results and cash flow, though the filing excerpt gives no price or quantified effect.

  8. ASTI to sell 32-year China auto-electronics unit

    The move: ASTI will sell its wholly owned Zhejiang manufacturing subsidiary, a maker of wire harnesses and ECUs, after saying slower Chinese growth and stronger domestic rivals made the unit a worse use of management resources.

  9. JEOL shareholders approve ¥79 dividend and board slate

    Shareholders signed off on a ¥79 per-share year-end payout and elected a seven-director board including president and CEO Izumi Oi, alongside two Audit and Supervisory Board members.

  10. HOYA sets three-year PSU awards for CEO, CFO and CSO

    The move: HOYA has set a new three-year PSU award for its CEO, CFO and CSO, with a maximum 22,200 shares and a half-stock, half-cash structure that leaves the final value to be fixed in 2029.

  11. Abalance seeks August filing extension as Abit probe may force prior-year corrections

    Abalance wants a 62-day extension, to August 31, after a probe into suspect transactions at merged subsidiary Abit opened the door to extra audit work and possible prior-year corrections.

  12. CYBERDYNE's rental core held steady, but Europe dragged sales lower

    A near-flat ¥2.00bn rental business could not offset a 44% drop in EMEA and a 68% slump in other revenue, leaving CYBERDYNE's sales down 12.3% in the year to March even as net profit turned positive.

  13. CHINO lifts payout plan after early target wins, but capital costs still outrun returns

    The Tokyo-listed company now forecasts ¥32.5bn in sales and a 45.7 per cent payout ratio for the year ending March 2027, yet says higher beta and interest rates pushed both ROE and ROIC below its capital-cost hurdle.

  14. Nippon Chemi-Con executes ¥9bn preferred-share recap and cancels Class A stock

    The move: Nippon Chemi-Con completed a ¥9bn issue of Class C and D preferred shares to Development Bank of Japan, then pushed through ¥4.5bn cuts to both capital and capital reserve and cancelled all Class A preferred shares.

  15. Kubotek ends the year with ¥56.1mn in net assets and a 7.0% equity ratio

    The number: Kubotek’s annual report showed only ¥56.1mn of net assets and a 7.0% equity ratio, even with sales at ¥2.10bn and losses still on the books.

  16. Zojirushi leaves annual targets unchanged after first-half profit rises

    The move: first-half operating profit rose 7 per cent to ¥5.21bn and net assets increased, but Zojirushi kept its full-year earnings target and ¥46 annual dividend unchanged, citing higher raw-material costs, a weaker yen assumption and uncertain US tariff refunds.

  17. Diamond Electric audit correction cuts annual profit to ¥217mn from ¥819mn

    The catch: an audit review of intercompany accounting left Diamond Electric’s sales unchanged but cut reported net profit to ¥217mn from ¥819mn, reversing what had looked like a forecast beat into a ¥382mn miss.

  18. Shimadzu locks in ¥12.14bn payout as shareholders back seven directors

    A ¥42-a-share year-end dividend and the company’s director slate cleared the annual meeting, giving investors final confirmation on both cash return and board elections.

  19. Nichicon shareholders approve ¥19 year-end dividend, ¥1.28bn total

    Nichicon's annual meeting cleared a ¥19 per-share year-end dividend worth ¥1.28bn in total, with the distribution effective from June 29 and no broader capital-allocation update in the excerpt.

  20. ESPEC shareholders approve ¥70 year-end dividend and board slate

    The annual meeting confirmed a ¥70 payout per common share and elected seven directors plus three Audit & Supervisory Committee members, giving investors final public confirmation on cash return and governance.

  21. SCREEN shareholders approve ¥170 year-end dividend, elect eight directors

    The annual meeting approved a ¥170 per-share payout and elected Masato Goto alongside seven other directors, formalising cash return and board appointments but offering no new operating update.

  22. Abalance shifts results to late August as Abit probe prompts filing-extension plan

    A June 30 probe into accounting and suspicious transactions at former subsidiary Abit has pushed Abalance's results to late August, while a separate U.S. solar-shipment dispute leaves another ¥3bn to ¥5bn potential hit to be settled in the same window.

  23. Asterisk targets ¥2.18bn from EVO FUND warrants, but the cash is not locked in

    Two EVO FUND warrant series are struck at ¥1,800 and ¥2,000, with a fixed 1.15mn-share dilution ceiling but no guarantee Asterisk actually receives the full ¥2.18bn.

  24. Abalance weighs 62-day filing extension as Abit probe pushes results to late August

    The move: a June 30 investigation report on former subsidiary Abit is set to trigger added audit work, so Abalance is weighing a 62-day filing extension and says even its separate ¥3bn to ¥5bn US solar-shipment loss cannot be pinned down before late August.
