Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed industrials companies, in English.
Taisei Corporation's 120-day suspension, from November 7 to March 6, applies only to nationwide private-sector civil-engineering work, and the company has decided to withdraw its Supreme Court challenges to the Japan Fair Trade Commission's cease-and-desist order.
Koike Sanso Kogyo has postponed its November 9 interim results because systems remain disrupted after an October 5 cyberattack, and it expects the announcement to pass the 45-day statutory deadline; the notice gives no new date.
A Delaware federal court found Shibuya infringed Steuben Foods patents and awarded $38.3mn in damages plus $10.3mn in prejudgment interest; the company plans to appeal and has yet to size the hit to its year to June 2027.
Shinto Company's free-float market value slipped to ¥496.1mn, under half the ¥1.0bn Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard-market threshold, and the tile maker now has until the close of the fiscal year ending June 2027 to close the gap, or face a liquidation designation and delisting on January 1, 2028.
The Supreme Court's rejection of Taisei Corporation's final appeal fixes a ¥250mn fine and a suspended sentence for a former adviser over antitrust violations tied to Linear Chuo Shinkansen terminal-station construction, and Kajima Corporation says its own appeal in a related case tied to the same railway project has also failed.
An incoming audit firm refused to sign off on Hamai Industries' books over unverifiable stock valuations, pushing the Tokyo valve maker to restate results for every year from 2021 through 2025 and change how it grades slow-moving inventory.
Besterra's half-year filing confirms four people died when part of the equipment being dismantled fell at its Kawasaki demolition site in April, and the contractor says it still cannot estimate the financial impact even as operating profit more than doubled and net profit fell by half on a securities writedown.
Kanadevia told Japan's transport ministry that a plant making bridges and marine structures used uncertified welders on 175 projects and falsified inspection and paint records for decades; the company says its own experts found no significant safety impact but plans further field checks on in-service bridges.
Tokyo Stock Exchange has given semiconductor-equipment maker J.E.T. until June 2027 to pass a re-examination after past accounting irregularities and a broken listing pledge, on top of a ¥28.8mn penalty and a ¥488mn restatement cleanup bill that helped push its half-year net loss to ¥1.06bn.
ACSL's half-year filing shows North American drone sales rising to ¥1.02bn from ¥42.7mn a year earlier as US bans on Chinese-made drones lift its NDAA-compliant SOTEN, even as China's Ministry of Commerce placed the Tokyo firm on a watch list in June that tightens export screening for the dual-use parts it still sources from China.
A ¥42.5bn syndicated loan survived only because five banks agreed in July not to demand early repayment after Tsubaki Nakashima breached its financial covenants for a second half in a row, and the company's own numbers show the reported profit recovery ran mostly on a one-off land sale.
An earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture forced Tokai Carbon to halt nearly all running equipment at the plant that supplies isotropic graphite to chipmakers and solar cell producers, though the company reports no injuries, structural damage or fires so far and is still assessing shipment and earnings impact.
Aida Engineering detected a likely breach at its Asian base on July 6 and is delaying its quarterly results to late August, past the usual 45-day reporting window, while saying no customer or partner data leak has been confirmed so far.
A former accountant at CKD's service subsidiary diverted company funds into a personal account for more than five years before his July 9 arrest; CKD has already booked the ¥178mn loss and is cutting pay for the executives on both sides of the reporting line.
Data feeding unit-cost calculations were not updated correctly from the year to March 2019, leaving inventory understated; NEPON now says its reporting controls are effective and the latest year ended with ¥37.7mn in net profit.
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.
