Japan Tech & Telecom Company News (Page 12)

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

  1. 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.

  2. GMO Product Platform completes 100,000-share off-floor distribution to address Growth listing rule

    The company completed an off-floor distribution of 100,000 shares at ¥1,456 each, with a 3,300-share cap per buyer. Management says the point was to increase floating shares and address the Growth Market's tradable-share-ratio rule, not to tell a new operating story.

  3. TDC Soft sales rise to ¥48.36bn, profit to ¥3.88bn

    Sales rose to ¥48.36bn, ordinary income to ¥5.36bn and profit attributable to owners to ¥3.88bn. The five-year series in the filing keeps pointing the same way, which is not the worst read-through for enterprise IT demand.

  4. BPLATS shareholders approve ¥420.7mn equity reshuffle

    Shareholders backed cuts of ¥96.4mn in capital and ¥324.3mn in capital reserve, with ¥420.7mn then moved to retained earnings to offset losses. Useful distinction: this is equity reclassification, not fresh cash.

  5. Mynet gives Zero Gaming up to 9.24% stake to fund fantasy-sports push

    Mynet plans to issue up to 871,033 new shares to Zero Gaming, giving it a stake of up to 9.24%, to fund fantasy-sports marketing and app development. The company says it wants to keep dilution below 10%, and if the deal closes it also plans to nominate Zero Gaming's chief as a director at the next annual meeting.

  6. ENECHANGE authorises 4mn-share buyback, with purchases starting August 10

    ENECHANGE authorised market purchases of up to 4,000,000 shares, equal to 9.3% of stock outstanding excluding treasury shares at March 31, with total spending capped at ¥1bn. The window runs from Aug. 10 to June 30, 2027 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which gives investors a clear cap and calendar but no promise the full amount will be used.

  7. GREE hands JP2 fund operator and LP stake slice to MIXI in carve-out deal

    GREE will first spin the operating business of GREE LP Fund JP2 into a new company, GREE Fund Investments, then sell all of that unit to MIXI on July 31 for about ¥17mn while transferring part of a separate LP stake for about ¥300mn. The carved-out package includes ¥66mn of assets and ¥50mn of liabilities, and GREE says its capital ratio in the fund will fall from 45.9% to 26.7%, ending its execution authority if the deal closes as planned. MIXI says the ¥5.455bn vehicle is expected to become a specified subsidiary, with the new manager due to be renamed MIXI Capital Management and the fund due to be renamed MIXI LP Fund 1. The exact LP slice moving from GREE Capital Management is still not separately disclosed, but the broad point is plain enough: GREE is stepping back from control and MIXI is taking it.

  8. Sansan ends buyback just below ¥2bn cap, as Ichigo stake rises to 11.57%

    Sansan completed the buyback approved in May after purchasing 1,331,600 shares for ¥2.00bn, against an authorisation of up to 2,000,000 shares and ¥2.00bn. The final June stretch alone accounted for 811,600 shares and ¥1.26bn, so the programme effectively ran into the cash ceiling before it reached the share ceiling. A separate large-shareholding report showed Ichigo Asset Management's joint holding at 14,666,900 shares, or 11.57%, as of June 12, up from 10.44% previously. The two filings do not say the moves are connected, but together they sharpen the ownership picture.

  9. Tomakomai AI data-center project commits ¥3.94bn to a 66kV substation

    Environment Friendly Holdings said its subsidiary AI Tech Tomakomai has signed a ¥3.94bn tax-included contract with Yurtec to build a 66kV substation for the Tomakomai AI data-centre site in Hokkaido. Construction starts on July 1, 2026 and completion is scheduled for Dec. 13, 2027, with the company describing the asset as the route from an initial 10MW plan toward a 50MW receiving-capacity target. Funding is supposed to come from internal cash, retargeted equity proceeds, warrant exercises and possibly bank borrowing. The catch is familiar: part of the money depends on future warrant exercises, so the power plan is solidifying faster than the financing certainty.

  10. FreeBit raises sales and operating profit outlook, but CountUp investigation keeps final numbers open

    FreeBit lifted full-year sales guidance to ¥62.5bn from ¥60.0bn and operating profit to ¥6.65bn from ¥6.1bn, citing stronger MVNO support, broader apartment internet services and higher affiliate transaction volumes. Ordinary profit and net income stayed at ¥5.77bn and ¥3.5bn because the CountUp investigation and audit are still ongoing, and the company said the financial statements will move to a later continued session after the July 23 shareholder meeting.

  11. Headwaters corrects full-year EPS forecast to ¥72.92, leaves sales and profit targets intact

    The company corrected projected full-year EPS to ¥72.92 from ¥101.66, but left net sales at ¥8.56bn, operating income at ¥753mn and profit attributable at ¥391mn. So this is a per-share math repair, not a fresh change in the underlying business plan.

  12. PostPrime lets Cybridge cast 33.42% of AGM votes from a post-record-date allotment

    PostPrime will let Cybridge vote 20,980 rights tied to 2,098,000 shares issued after the May 31 record date at its August 26 AGM, giving the new holder 33.42% of the meeting's votes under the company's method. The company says it wants the meeting to reflect shareholder intent closer to the date itself; investors may prefer record dates for exactly the opposite reason. The timing also lands as PostPrime buys Infinity Life for ¥105mn in cash to push into business succession and M&A intermediation.

  13. Capcom nears ¥200bn in sales as profit figures hit five-year highs

    Net sales reached ¥195.36 billion, ordinary income ¥74.13 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent ¥54.58 billion, all the top figures in the filing's five-year summary. A separate internal control report said controls were effective and highlighted game software work in progress and deferred revenue tied to free downloadable content as key review areas.

  14. GO’s listing sell-down cuts DeNA below 5%

    DeNA's voting-rights stake fell to 4.99% from 25.75% and NTT Docomo's to 3.66% from 18.28% after a listing-related share sale. Because GO's issued share count stayed at 77,679,600, this reads as an ownership redistribution story rather than fresh dilution.

  15. Intage redraws its reporting lines around Insight and Data Tech

    Starting with first-quarter results for the year ending June 2027, the group will move from three segments to two, replacing its two Marketing Support lines and Business Intelligence with Insight and Data Tech. Management says the change is meant to align research, AI and data-use infrastructure with its 2030 plan, but it has not yet provided a historical financial bridge.

  16. WOWOW sets up four-step deal to control Lemino with NTT Docomo

    WOWOW plans to set up a new company on June 17, have NTT Docomo move Lemino into it via an absorption-type split, then buy 51% of the vehicle so it becomes a joint venture from Oct. 1. In parallel, WOWOW will issue 815,800 new shares to Docomo for gross proceeds of about ¥841.1m, while saying the 51% purchase itself will be funded with WOWOW cash. The structure matters because Docomo will end up both as a 49% partner inside the venture and a direct shareholder in WOWOW outside it. The catch is that the split consideration can still be adjusted, the assets and liabilities moving with Lemino are not yet fixed, and WOWOW says the effect on the year ending March 2027 is still being assessed.

  17. DYNAMIC BEST GROUP takes 9.5% stake in AI Storm

    Hong Kong-based DYNAMIC BEST GROUP disclosed a 9.50% stake, or 3,044,400 shares, and said the position was funded with ¥608.88 million of its own money. The filing states the purpose as pure investment, not a control push.

  18. TO Books revenue rises 25%, proposes ¥76 first post-listing dividend

    Revenue rose 25.1% to ¥11.8 billion and operating profit 72.7% to ¥1.98 billion in the year ended April. It also proposed a ¥76 first post-listing dividend, though next year's profit guide cools.

  19. tripla turns an ¥8m revenue beat into a much bigger profit upgrade

    Full-year revenue guidance rose by just ¥8 million to ¥3,501 million, while operating profit was lifted to ¥822 million and ordinary profit to ¥927 million as tripla Book volume and take rate stayed on plan, costs came down and cash from advance payments earned more interest. Management says the rest-of-year assumptions on interest income and foreign exchange remain conservative.

  20. CAICA DIGITAL lifts operating profit as IoT joins the mix, but nursing-care DX is still waiting for earnings

    First-half revenue rose 17.5% to ¥2,989 million and operating profit more than doubled to ¥52 million, helped by steady IT-services demand and NEX's first-half IoT contribution. The Zenko acquisition has so far changed the balance sheet faster than earnings, though: goodwill stood at ¥2,289 million after a ¥207 million impairment, while Zenko's profit and loss only starts flowing through from the third quarter and full-year guidance stayed unchanged.

  21. Smaregi turns recurring revenue into faster profit growth and a bigger dividend

    Revenue in the year to April rose 20.6% to ¥13.3 billion, but operating profit climbed 35.2% to ¥3.2 billion as monthly fees grew 31.7% and advertising and hiring costs were managed more tightly. Cash and equivalents ended April at ¥8.1 billion, the annual dividend rose to ¥24 a share, and the company plans ¥29 for the coming year.

  22. Morpho cuts year outlook despite subsidy income, books ¥183 million of reform losses

    First-half sales fell 24.8% to ¥1,152 million and the operating loss widened to ¥539 million, even after ¥39 million of subsidy income helped below the operating line. The company now expects a full-year operating loss of ¥350 million and a net loss of ¥520 million, after also booking ¥183 million of reform-related special losses.

  23. NE plans ¥220 million sale of hometown-tax support business to Cyber Record

    It plans to sell the business to Cyber Record for ¥220 million in cash, though the price remains provisional until the definitive agreement is signed. The unit generated ¥281 million of revenue in the year to April 2026, and NE said bigger entrants and municipality contract losses had made the market harder to defend.

  24. Ridge-i lifts earnings outlook as larger AI projects widen margins

    The company raised revenue guidance for the year ending July 2026 to ¥2,900 million from ¥2,800 million, but lifted operating and ordinary profit much more sharply, to ¥500 million from ¥345 million, on larger generative-AI projects, better utilisation and lower selling costs. Net profit also gets a one-off lift from an expected ¥79 million gain on the planned sale of Star Music Entertainment to SBI Holdings, subject to shareholder approval.
