Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
LTS cut its operating-profit forecast to ¥1.35bn to ¥1.45bn from ¥1.6bn, citing slow engineer reskilling and weaker partner staffing demand it ties partly to generative AI, while DX consulting grows and the dividend forecast holds.
SMC's operating profit rose 74.0% to ¥157.9bn in the six months to September, and the company lifted its full-year operating profit forecast to ¥294.0bn from ¥219.0bn on strong semiconductor-related orders.
Mitsubishi Estate's Marunouchi offices were 0.34% vacant at end-September, but its ¥187.1bn half-year operating profit also leaned on overseas property sales, and a ¥40.1bn securities gain sits below the operating line.
Obayashi lifted its operating-profit forecast for the year to March 2027 to ¥205bn, crediting clients that are securing scarce site labour earlier, while Multiplex adds sales but, with higher labour and M&A costs, little extra profit.
Hokuetsu booked a ¥1.442bn operating loss on 5.6% higher sales in the first half, blaming raw-material and fuel costs and weaker overseas pulp prices, yet it left its ¥3bn full-year operating profit target unchanged.
A slump in crypto trading volumes and two charges, a ¥2.962bn Aplo impairment and a ¥3.213bn Westfield earn-out revaluation, pushed Monex to a ¥1.569bn loss attributable to owners for April to September 2026.
JEOL's industrial equipment sales fell 44.7% to ¥14.9bn in the six months to September, which the company ties to mask-writer sales timing and tighter export controls. The Sysmex medical sale, a separate segment, is not the cause.
Daito Trust's half-year net profit rose 28.6% to ¥64.2bn with help from a ¥9.87bn gain on the sale of an affiliate stake, while construction orders fell 13.2%, which the company ties to cautious clients facing higher interest rates.
Yakult lowered its full-year sales forecast by ¥17bn to ¥510bn and trimmed profit targets, citing Japanese thrift, US tariffs and weak Chinese consumption, even though half-year sales rose 3.6%.
Tamura expects ¥7.5bn of operating profit this fiscal year, ¥1bn above its August guide, as large transformers and reactors lead growth; interim net profit of ¥4.6bn was lifted by asset-sale gains.
ispace's net assets fell from ¥15.2bn to ¥5.7bn in six months after a ¥10.5bn loss, with loan covenants requiring positive net assets and ¥3bn in cash at year-end; management sees no material going-concern uncertainty.
Artience booked a ¥9.197bn third-quarter impairment, citing a delayed customer battery plant start in Hungary that left Japanese assets idle and a worsening operating result at its Turkish liquid-ink subsidiary.
Japan Steel Works booked 37.7% more orders in the six months to September but recognized 7.6% less revenue; defense equipment sales rose to ¥22.52bn, while resin machinery and display-laser tools fell and operating cash flow turned negative.
EDION's half-year net profit rose to ¥16.3bn from ¥9.3bn on an early air-conditioner season and renovation demand, while its planned integration with Yamada Holdings is still at the preparation-committee stage.
Hama Sushi and Sukiya powered a 39.7% rise in Zensho's half-year operating profit to ¥56.48bn, while a ¥8.094bn Polish sushi-factory acquisition added ¥6.974bn of provisional goodwill and a restatement reset last year's sales base.
ORIX's ¥856.2bn half-year net income rests on the ORIX Bank sale gain and Toshiba-related equity-method income in APAC, so the 35.8% annualised return on equity is a poor gauge of normal earnings.
Kaken's half-year operating profit rose to ¥10.16bn from ¥180mn, which the company attributes mainly to a $70mn Johnson & Johnson milestone, while Jublia's German launch via Almirall marks its first product rollout in Europe.
Bushiroad lifted its full-year sales forecast by ¥13.0bn to ¥71.0bn after the Palworld card game outsold its own expectations, while quarterly operating profit fell 7.3% and advertising spending rose.
Noritz cut its operating profit forecast to ¥2.8bn from ¥4.5bn, blaming weak overseas housing demand tied to China's property slump, while leaving its domestic plan, net income forecast and ¥47 year-end dividend as they were.
En inc.'s half-year net profit rose 161% to ¥4.57bn on a ¥4.88bn gain from selling most of engage, while media sales excluding engage fell 7.5% and agent sales rose 12.2%.
Fukuyama Transporting's transport segment raised operating profit 152.3% to ¥5.80bn in the half to September while revising freight rates, though the report does not isolate how much of the gain came from pricing.
Tsugami now expects ¥48bn of operating profit this fiscal year, 31.5% above its May plan, after its China segment generated most of a record first half.
GPU infrastructure sales of ¥10.12bn, up 258.9%, helped Sakura Internet swing to a ¥2.96bn half-year operating profit, while a planned ¥26bn Ishikari GPU investment is to be funded by subsidies, borrowing and own funds.
Startup costs in the Americas, delayed tariff pass-through and a European loss cut Sanoh Industrial's first-half operating profit to ¥1.54bn on sales of ¥86.3bn, yet it has kept its ¥5.5bn full-year target.
