    Money Forward's operating profit reached ¥1.69bn for the nine months to August 2026, up from a ¥1.98bn loss, but full-year guidance still runs from a ¥500mn operating loss to a ¥1.5bn profit.

  2. Mani's China diamond-bar rebound lifts operating profit 21%

    Mani's operating profit rose 21.4% to ¥9.94bn as diamond-bar sales in China returned to 88% of pre-recall levels in the first year back, ahead of the company's own two-year recovery goal.

  3. HIOKI's orders rose 40% in nine months, but parts shortages hold back sales

    HIOKI's nine-month orders rose 40.0% against 22.8% for sales, with automatic test equipment orders more than doubling, and the company says component shortages are delaying deliveries while it holds its full-year guidance.

  4. Garden cuts net profit forecast to ¥10mn but holds its ¥90 dividend plan

    Garden now expects ¥10mn of net profit for the year to February 2027, down from ¥840mn, blaming weaker existing-store traffic after price rises and higher expansion costs, while its ¥90 dividend forecast stands.

  5. FP Partner's operating profit falls 31% as commissions arrive more slowly

    FP Partner's nine-month operating profit fell 30.8% to ¥1.54bn as single-premium sales rose and a main life insurer began paying commission in instalments; the agency left its full-year guidance unchanged.

  6. ABEJA's operating profit rose 59%, but a tax gain flatters net income

    ABEJA's operating profit rose 59.4% to ¥710.6mn in the year to August 2026, but a ¥306mn tax credit helped push net profit up 137.8%; the company guides net profit down 36.2% next year as revenue climbs 30.2%.

  7. Ichibanya's sales rose 10% in the half, but rice and logistics costs cut operating profit 17.2%

    Curry chain operator Ichibanya grew half-year sales 10.0% to ¥35.23bn, yet operating profit fell 17.2% to ¥2.09bn, which the company attributes to costlier ingredients, rice included, and higher logistics costs.

  8. Cave swings to operating profit in the quarter it relaunched a 2008 shooter on Steam

    Cave posted a ¥555mn operating profit for June to August, against a ¥565mn loss a year earlier, crediting collaboration campaigns and cost cuts; its new Steam release has no reported sales yet.

  9. QPS Holdings lifts operating-profit guide to ¥2bn as ¥1.2bn of research cost moves to next year or later

    QPS Holdings lifted its operating-profit forecast from ¥300mn to ¥2bn with sales unchanged at ¥10bn, saying about ¥1.2bn of research cost will go unbooked this year and satellite depreciation will run below plan.

  10. Hobonichi's record 1.14mn Techo run puts overseas at 57.5% of planner sales

    Overseas buyers generated 57.5% of Hobonichi Techo revenue as the 2026 edition sold a record 1.14 million copies; the next fiscal year runs only ten months, so growth rates will not compare cleanly.

    Saizeriya's Japan operating profit rose 19.4% while Asia's fell 4.2% despite 17.1% higher sales, and the chain now says menu prices will be revised as conditions require after holding them so far.

  13. IDOM raises sales guidance, cuts profit and dividend forecasts

    IDOM expects ¥655.0bn of sales but only ¥18.5bn of operating profit, down from ¥24.0bn, as inventory clearance, weaker auction prices and hiring for 13 large-store openings weigh; its full-year dividend forecast falls to ¥31.38.

  14. U-NEXT's energy arm turns record sales into a profit miss

    U-NEXT HOLDINGS grew revenue 20.4% to ¥469.96bn, yet operating profit fell 4.2% as power procurement costs hit fixed-price energy contracts, and management is repricing them and moving customers to market-linked tariffs.

  15. Rorze first-half operating profit rises 42% as patent settlement takes a ¥2.158bn charge

    Rorze's operating profit rose 42.4% to ¥23.1bn in the six months to August, and a US patent settlement that cost ¥9.587bn in cash added only ¥2.158bn of special loss.

  16. Muji's operating profit passes ¥100bn, but net-profit guidance falls as one-offs fade

    Ryohin Keikaku's operating profit jumped 40.1% to ¥103.4bn on overseas growth and a weaker yen, but it guides to a 4.5% fall in net profit next year as this year's one-off gains reverse.

  21. LOCAL,Inc. pulls full-year forecast after rice-driven first-half loss
