Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.

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.
The Tokyo-listed trust is swapping a 38-year-old Nagoya office building for a 300-room Okinawa resort priced 19.3% below appraisal, bridging the gap with a ¥5bn Mizuho loan and issuing a first, record ¥2,780 per-unit payout forecast for the half to August 2027.
AXELL CORPORATION now expects full-year net income of ¥1.7bn, up 91% from its May plan, and is raising its dividend to ¥79 from ¥41, pointing to stronger pachinko-chip demand and price increases that are offsetting a global memory-cost jump the company links to generative-AI demand.
Furuya Metal's ordinary profit more than doubled to ¥24.7bn in the year to June on semiconductor and data-centre demand, precious-metal prices and a weak yen, and the company now says it will revise its 2030 profit target, though it has not yet said to what.
Japan's value-clothing chain Shimamura grew first-half operating profit 5.3% to ¥33.13bn, yet management still describes fierce price competition and thrifty shoppers as the norm, with full-year guidance left unchanged.
Hit capsule-toy releases and strong convenience-store lottery and trading-card sales push Happinet's six-month net profit forecast to ¥9.0bn from ¥5.0bn, while the toy distributor keeps its full-year guidance unchanged pending the Christmas selling season.

Kaga Electronics raised its full-year profit forecast after absorbing Shinko Shoji, but a ¥6bn non-cash negative-goodwill gain accounts for most of the ¥7bn net-profit increase, and the company strips that gain out before setting its higher dividend.
Pan Pacific International Holdings, the holding company behind Don Quijote, reported net profit of ¥110.1bn for the year ended June 2026, up 21.6% and above ¥100bn for the first time in its published five-year run, as consolidated sales rose 8.8% to ¥2.45tn.
Vacuum-equipment maker ULVAC booked record orders of ¥324.2bn for the year to June 2026, but ordinary profit fell 30% to ¥19.9bn as supply-chain and capacity limits slowed the conversion of orders into revenue.

Invincible Investment Corporation says its Kansai hotels posted a 41.5% RevPAR drop in August, a month it says was hit by post-Expo demand cooling and fewer Chinese visitors, while the rest of its 101-hotel portfolio gained 0.6%, and it forecasts a September rebound helped by holiday timing.
