ACSL priced its European and Asian share offering at ¥1,310 a share for ¥5.12bn in net proceeds, but cut the defense-business allocation to ¥3.12bn from the ¥4.81bn ceiling set in its original filing two days earlier, while the ¥2bn earmarked for North America expansion stayed unchanged.

Regulatory clearances are done for Apollo's ¥165.0bn recapitalization of Nippon Sheet Glass, and the company now has a dated sequence: payment on August 31, delisting on September 28, and a share consolidation on September 30 that leaves the Apollo-backed vehicle as sole shareholder.

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.
RS Technologies grew six-month operating profit 8.9% to ¥7.7bn, then days later had its China unit pay about ¥10.8bn for 60% of an Anhui epitaxial-wafer maker, a bet on higher-value power-chip materials that full-year guidance does not yet capture.
