    SUSMED began selling its Medcle insomnia app on 1 June, but the year to June 2026 rested on ¥340mn of partner milestones, ended with a ¥382.7mn net loss, and the annual report gives no sales figures for the app.

  6. freee's Growth Plan: 1% Churn as Profit Target Doubles

    The Tokyo-listed accounting and payroll software maker closed the year to June 2026 with ¥43.5bn of platform recurring revenue and a 1.0% average monthly revenue churn rate, and is now guiding for adjusted operating profit to more than double as it prioritizes margin over pure growth.

  7. COVER lifts half-year profit forecast 81% after hololive Dreams beats launch targets

    COVER Corporation raised its guidance for operating profit in the six months to September by 81%, to ¥3.5bn, after its hololive Dreams smartphone game topped launch expectations and licensing revenue ran ahead of plan, even though sales guidance and the full-year forecast stayed unchanged.

  8. Mercari's Profit Jumps 36% as Marketplace Growth Returns to Double Digits

    Mercari's net profit rose 36% to ¥35.4bn in the year to June 2026, as marketplace transactions topped ¥1.29tn on renewed double-digit growth, its Mercard credit card program passed 6 million cards issued, and its long-breakeven US business posted its best result yet, even though the company again paid no dividend.

  9. JUSTPLANNING Sells Its Entire Solar Business, and the Exit Boosts Its Profit Forecast

  10. Smaregi's In-House Payments Push Nearly Doubles Quarterly Operating Profit

  11. ACCESS Cuts Its Net Loss by Three-Quarters on One Big Network Deal, But Exchange Review and Going-Concern Warning Still Hang Over It

    ACCESS narrowed its first-half net loss to ¥588mn and grew revenue 16.8% almost entirely on one carryover network contract, yet its own filing still flags going-concern doubt and confirms the Tokyo Stock Exchange's internal-control review, which could end in delisting, remains open a year after its Special Attention designation.

  12. Visional Guides Flat Profit for Next Year Even as HRMOS Growth Accelerates

    Visional's revenue grew 24% in the year to July 2026, but a wage-tax credit expiry and a new defense corporate tax mean next year's profit guidance is essentially flat, even as HRMOS's client count nearly quintupled and the Thinkings acquisition pushed group goodwill from ¥3.7bn to ¥12bn.

  13. ANYCOLOR's Sales Climb While Big Events Eat the Profit

    ANYCOLOR grew Nijisanji-driven revenue 5.4% in the quarter to July, but a heavier events calendar pushed costs up and operating profit fell 8.8% while the margin dropped six points, and the company still expects profit to fall for the full year while cutting its dividend to ¥62 from ¥75.

  15. Pro-ship's Order Book Swells Ahead of Japan's Lease-Accounting Deadline

    SaaS orders for Pro-ship's lease-compliance software jumped 2,674% in the quarter to June, pushing its backlog to a record ¥6.93bn, but management says the demand disappears once Japan's new lease standard takes effect in April 2027.

  16. QPS Holdings Posts First Profit as Defense Satellite Contract and ¥15.2bn Raise Fund Its Constellation Build-Out

  19. Sansan Reports First-Ever Dividend as Annual Profit Jumps to ¥6.78bn

    A gain on selling shares in an affiliate helped lift Sansan's annual profit to ¥6.78bn from ¥424mn, and the digital business-card company declared its first-ever dividend of ¥2.50 a share while targeting 16-20% annual sales growth through 2029.

  20. Synspective's Satellite Backlog Hits ¥121.7bn, but Subsidies Are Doing Half the Work

    Japan's SAR-satellite maker booked a ¥96.1bn defense contract and government space grants that pushed its order backlog to ¥121.7bn, but most of its reported revenue growth came from subsidies rather than paying customers, and operating losses widened in the half to June.

  21. Trend Micro's AI Bill Erases Much of Its Sales Growth

    Trend Micro's first-half sales rose 11% to ¥148.6bn, but AI token, cloud and yen-inflated payroll costs pushed total expenses up 20%, cutting operating profit by nearly a quarter even as its closely watched recurring-revenue metric grew a slower 5% once currency effects are stripped out.

  22. GMO Payment Gateway's In-Store Terminals Outrun Its Online Business

    Online transaction growth cooled to 1.4% once a merchant shifted its processing in-house, but face-to-face volume rose 19% and a 40.5% jump in overseas fintech lending profit kept GMO Payment Gateway at 77% of its full-year operating-profit target.

    Nexon's net profit for the six months to June rose to ¥86.9bn, up 102% and already close to all of 2025's total, as ARC Raiders and a refreshed MapleStory line-up outweighed a sliding Dungeon&Fighter franchise.
