Japan Tech & Telecom Company News (Page 3)

Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed tech & telecom companies, in English.

  1. Medley's Profit More Than Doubles as It Borrows ¥5bn and Absorbs Recruit's Medical Staffing Business

    Medley's first-half net profit rose 131% to ¥1.5bn on hiring-platform growth, and the healthcare-jobs company also borrowed ¥5bn from two banks and took full ownership of the business behind Recruit Medical Career weeks after the half closed.

  2. ExaWizards Sales Rise 41% After SMFG Capital Injection Reshapes Balance Sheet

    ExaWizards' quarterly revenue rose 41% to ¥3.45bn, but the bigger change sits on the balance sheet: a ¥5.4bn share allotment to Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group pushed the AI developer's equity ratio to 70%, and it now plans its first dividend since listing.

  3. Akatsuki Swings to Profit, Then Announces a Three-for-One Stock Split

    A ¥787 million quarterly profit came with a ¥6.48 billion buyback and a three-for-one stock split set for October, while two newly acquired businesses have yet to show up in Akatsuki's income statement.

  4. TBS Holdings Cuts Full-Year Profit Outlook as TV Spot Ads Slump

    A record first quarter for revenue did not stop a 43 percent drop in TBS Holdings' operating profit, and the broadcaster has now cut its full-year sales and profit forecast as advertisers hold back on TV spot buys amid Middle East-linked uncertainty.

  5. NTT's Quarterly Revenue Hits a Record ¥3.62tn, but Guidance Points to a Profit Slowdown

    NTT's operating revenue climbed 10.9% to a record ¥3.62tn in the quarter through June, but profit grew only about half as fast, and the group's untouched full-year forecast points to operating profit growth slowing to just 0.2% for the year to March 2027.

  6. JMDC's Pharma-Data Rebound Pushes First-Quarter Profit Up 17%, Prompts Rare Half-Year Forecast

    JMDC's April-June profit rose 17% on faster-than-planned pharma demand for its health data, and the company broke its own rule against forecasting the first half, even as it keeps its full-year target unchanged.

  7. Otsuka Corp Raises Full-Year Profit Guidance After Strong First-Half IT Demand

    The Tokyo-listed IT reseller and systems integrator now expects ¥94.3bn in operating profit for the year to December, a ¥4.3bn upgrade, after first-half sales beat its own internal plan by nearly ten percent and it lifted the interim dividend by ¥5 a share to ¥55.

  8. Otsuka Corporation Lifts Full-Year Profit Guidance After a Fourth Straight Record Interim Result

    Otsuka lifted its full-year sales target to ¥1.38tn and raised its annual dividend to ¥105 per share, citing steady enterprise demand for AI, security and productivity software even as management flagged Middle East and US trade risks.

  9. Capcom's New Sci-Fi IP and Aging Hits Both Deliver in Strong Quarter

    Capcom's operating profit rose 66.9% in the April-June quarter as new sci-fi title Pragmata topped 2.5 million copies sold and a six-year-old Devil May Cry 5 crossed 14 million units on a fresh Switch 2 port, while full-year guidance stayed unchanged at ¥210.0bn in sales.

  10. OBIC's ERP Business Grows 16%, But a Securities Slump Erases Most of Its Comprehensive Income

    OBIC's quarterly net profit rose 16.3% on stronger ERP and cloud demand, but a swing in unrealized securities valuations cut comprehensive income by more than three-quarters, and the software vendor left its full-year guidance untouched anyway.

  11. OBIC's Cloud Support Unit Outgrows Core ERP Sales in Strong June Quarter

    Net profit at Japan's ERP bellwether OBIC rose 16.3% to ¥22.7bn in the June quarter, with its cloud-based system-support business growing faster than the core ERP software it sells directly to large and mid-sized firms, even as the company flags growing caution among corporate buyers.

  12. Tripleize to Sell GPU Server Unit Zerofield, Pulls Full-Year Profit Forecast

    Tripleize is exiting the GPU server business it runs through subsidiary Zerofield and has withdrawn its full-year profit forecast until a sale price and closing timeline are set, even as its core AI Solutions unit posts record nine-month profit.

  13. Demae-can Nearly Doubles Its Loss Forecast as Delivery Orders Slip

    Demae-can now expects a ¥7.9bn operating loss for the year to August 2026, almost double its October guidance, after order volumes and gross merchandise value fell short through the third quarter.

  14. QPS Holdings Bets a ¥69.7bn Defense Deal Can Erase Its Satellite Losses

    QPS Holdings booked an ¥833mn operating loss for the year to May 2026, kept net income positive with subsidy income, and is guiding to a ¥300mn operating profit next year once a ¥69.7bn, five-year Ministry of Defense satellite contract lands its first full year of revenue.

  15. Money Forward Swings to First-Half Profit and Raises Full-Year Guidance

    The Tokyo-listed accounting-software group turned a ¥2.2bn net loss into a ¥553.7mn profit for the six months to May, then used the report to lift its full-year revenue and profit targets for a second time.

  16. Celsys Raises Interim Profit Forecast After CLIP STUDIO PAINT Upgrade

    Celsys now expects half-year operating profit of ¥2.22bn, up 38.9% from its February forecast, after CLIP STUDIO PAINT's version 5.0 upgrade beat sales targets worldwide, though its full-year outlook stays unchanged.

  17. Weathernews's AI Cuts 15,300 Work Hours a Month, But Its 99% Payout Won't Repeat

    Weathernews trimmed 15,300 hours of monthly labor with AI and grew operating profit 16% in the year to May 2026, but a one-off commemorative dividend that pushed its payout ratio to 99.1% is set to unwind, with the company's own forecast putting next year's ratio at 58.3%.

  18. QPS raises profit forecast on early JAXA subsidy booking, even as sales slip

    The catch: QPS now expects revenue of ¥3.8bn, 5% below its April forecast, but earlier recognition of ¥144mn in JAXA subsidy income and a ¥100mn deferred-tax asset lift ordinary profit and net income guidance to ¥1.1bn.

  19. Batonz reaches ¥2.00bn in sales as profit and hiring climb

    The number: Batonz reported ¥2.00bn in sales, ¥367.3mn in ordinary income and 126 employees for the year to March, while separate filings showed office expansion and effective financial-reporting controls.

  20. Nexon to book ¥373.46bn dividend from NEXON Korea, with no group earnings lift

    The catch: Nexon will book a ¥373.46bn dividend from NEXON Korea Corporation as non-operating income in standalone accounts for the year ending December 2026, while consolidated earnings stay unchanged because the payment is eliminated inside the group.

  21. Hikari Tsushin profit hits ¥151.0bn as assets climb to ¥2.85tn

    The number: Hikari Tsushin ended the year to March 2026 with ¥151.0bn in parent net profit, ¥734.8bn in revenue and ¥2.85tn in total assets.

  22. Focus Systems lifts annual dividend to ¥64 as net income reaches ¥2.33bn

    The number: Focus Systems reported ¥35.70bn in revenue, ¥3.07bn in ordinary income and ¥2.33bn in net income for the year to March 2026, while raising its annual dividend to ¥64 a share from ¥42.

  23. Focus Systems lifts dividend to ¥64 as profit and ROE improve

    The move: net income reached ¥2.33bn in the year to March, letting Focus Systems raise its annual dividend from ¥42 to ¥64 a share while ROE improved to 15.9%.

  24. Japan System Techniques extends revenue climb as ordinary profit tops ¥4bn

    Sales rose to ¥32.46bn and ordinary income to ¥4.02bn in the year to March, extending a five-year growth run. What the filing does not show is which customer sectors did the buying, so the demand read-through stays broad rather than precise.
