Japan Tech & Telecom Company News (Page 11)

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

  1. Synspective selected for eight-market SAR monitoring pilot, with ¥222.9mn subsidy request

    The project would fund two-thirds of eligible costs through March 2028 as the company tests mine-site surveillance and illegal-vessel detection in Latin America and Asia-Pacific, but the final award is still undecided.

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

  3. Speee carves out renovation and repair unit, keeps control in SOMPO JV

    The move: Speee will transfer its renovation and repair DX business into ReFact on August 1 and take a planned ¥1.812bn SOMPO investment in September, leaving the unit 60.7%-owned and consolidated. What is still missing: ReFact's forecast remains undecided.

  4. PCI Holdings sets October merger to absorb PCI Solutions

    The move: PCI Holdings will absorb wholly owned PCI Solutions on October 1, rename the parent after the subsidiary and shift out of pure holding-company form, with no merger consideration and only a minor expected effect on consolidated results.

  5. Forval RealStraight shareholders approve seven-seat director slate

    Shareholders backed four directors, including President Naoki Haga, and three Audit and Supervisory Committee members, but the filing does not say whether the lineup marks continuity or a deeper governance change.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Datasection to sell Jach Technology in management-led carve-out

    The move: Datasection will sell Jach Technology and six subsidiaries to a management-backed buyer for $6,737,111, shrinking the group around AI infrastructure and setting up a special gain once the deal closes.

    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.

  13. Japan System Techniques sets 8.06% buyback, plans to cancel most shares

    Up to 2 million shares and ¥2.5bn of market purchases back a 50 per cent-plus payout policy, but Japan System Techniques says stock needed for employee RS and executive incentives will be retained rather than cancelled.

  14. 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%.

  15. Japan System Techniques plans a ¥2.5bn buyback, but some shares are earmarked for pay awards

    The catch: Japan System Techniques has approved up to ¥2.5bn of buybacks, but says only the shares not needed for employee restricted stock and executive incentives will be cancelled.

  16. OPTiM misses Tokyo Prime’s ¥10bn tradable-share value bar despite higher sales

    The number: OPTiM said its tradable-share market value was ¥9.21bn, short of Tokyo Prime’s ¥10bn requirement, even as annual sales rose to ¥11.73bn. A separate same-day disclosure shows the company already used a buyback from founder-president Shunji Sugaya to trim his stake and improve float and liquidity.

  17. Smaregi seeks to drop PSU proration and lift the payout ceiling to 200%

The catch is that only stock needed for employee and officer incentives will be kept, while the rest is earmarked for cancellation.

  19. SHANON CEO adds COO duties as reshuffle targets sales and SMB partners

    Hiroshi Yamazaki will take on the COO brief from July 1 after the current operations chief is set to move to parent Innovation, with SHANON tying the changes to stronger sales execution and partner-led expansion in the SMB market.

  20. Innovation brings in SHANNON's Sho Oe for incubation role in July reshuffle

  22. Japan health ministry clarifies pharmacy reward rules and flags cashback via prescription sites

    A consolidated subsidiary will sell 360,000 DearU shares, or 1.52%, to the Korean parent on July 27 at that day's Korean-market closing price, leaving the final economics floating until the close. On current assumptions the Japan-listed company expects about ¥747mn of special gain in consolidated results, but the figure remains provisional because both share price and exchange rate can still move.
