Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
OHARA's low-dielectric glass and optical-communication products are set to roughly double in sales to about ¥1bn each as data-center investment accelerates, prompting the Japanese glassmaker's third full-year guidance increase this year, even as its camera-lens optics unit stays lossmaking ahead of a fourth-quarter inventory charge.
Kura Sushi's nine-month operating profit fell 45% even as group sales grew 4.4%, with Japan squeezed by still-high rice prices and its expanding US business absorbing tariff-driven cost increases, though full-year guidance is unchanged.
Kobe Bussan grew nine-month sales 5.2% to ¥432.9bn but net profit fell 10.9% on a currency-hedging base effect and merger costs, and it separately completed a ¥57bn purchase of 15 overseas in-flight caterers after the quarter closed.
KOMPEITO's Tokyo Growth Market debut arrives with a forecast ¥1.13bn net profit for the year to August 2026, reversing last year's ¥161mn loss, as revenue jumps 72% to ¥9.87bn.
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.
Timee's quarterly revenue rose 24.8% and worker utilization hit 86.3%, but operating profit grew only 5.8% as margins narrowed, and the board has only begun preparing a Prime Market application with no filing date yet.
Sato Foods' quarterly profit fell 90.5% as cheaper loose rice made its packaged rice look pricey and a year-ago one-off gain flattered the comparison, but the company has finally issued a full-year forecast pointing to a 26.4% profit decline after previously saying rice-price volatility made guidance too unreliable to publish.
Japan's Q·B·B cheese maker has cut its full-year operating profit forecast to ¥1.5bn, a 35% reduction, after packaging costs rose more than a tenth amid deteriorating Middle East conditions and the yen traded weaker than budgeted; a July earthquake that shut a subsidiary's factory added to the squeeze.
Digital Grid's contracted power capacity jumped 38% and revenue hit a record, but the company guided next year's operating profit down 5% and its net profit down nearly 18%, as a debt-funded pivot into owning grid-scale batteries cut its equity ratio to 34.1% and pushed operating cash flow negative.
AirTrip's year-end dividend leaps to ¥160 a share from ¥10, backed by a pledge to pay out 100% of adjusted operating profit through the year to September 2028, before dropping back to ¥10 once an investment phase begins in 2029.
Nichirin's first-half revenue rose 18.3% to ¥42.3bn, but its North America segment swung to a ¥250mn operating loss as US tariffs added a separate ¥400mn cost in the profit bridge; the company still held its full-year guidance unchanged.
The precision-parts maker now expects ¥14.5bn in full-year net profit, up 45% from its June guidance, on hybrid-vehicle motor-core and leadframe demand and a weaker yen, though it warns the second half will fall short of the first on cost pressure tied to Middle East tensions.
Miraial's interim profit rose 52% on AI-linked semiconductor demand for its plastic components, but a debt-funded marine-instrument acquisition added ¥826.7mn of goodwill and a ¥1.9bn covenanted loan, pulling its equity ratio down to 71.3% from 85.7%.
A roughly ¥500mn writedown on an unlisted stake halved Besterra's interim net profit even as operating profit more than doubled, and the demolition contractor still cannot quantify the cost of an April crane accident that killed four people at a Kawasaki steel mill.
Ending a duplicate-warehouse cost overlap helped Beauty Garage nearly double quarterly operating profit to ¥475.8mn, but its online store still can't take credit cards at checkout seven months after a suspected data leak, with a fresh outside investigation launched in August yet to find a cause.
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.
Nikkei's parent-only profit fell 43% even as consolidated revenue rose 4.3% on digital and event income, a gap disclosed in TDnet filings by Business Coach Inc. and TV TOKYO Holdings Corporation, two companies in which Nikkei is the largest shareholder.
Generative-AI datacenter demand pushed first-half net income at resin maker Miraial up 52% to ¥431mn, even as its April acquisition of a marine-instrument maker piled on ¥1.9bn of new borrowing and forced the company to introduce an adjusted-profit metric to smooth out the deal's goodwill and M&A costs.
GreenEnergy & Company left its ¥21.5bn full-year sales forecast untouched but raised profit guidance 20%, saying its grid-scale battery storage unit got cheaper to build than it originally budgeted.
The Tokyo Growth-market marketer swapped a ¥2mn profit forecast for a ¥1.1bn net loss after nearly ¥830mn of one-off costs and losses and a delayed China live-commerce launch, and its rebound plan for next year leans heavily on newly acquired companies.
Skylark Holdings' established restaurants grew August sales 4.6% year on year as traffic rose just 0.4% and almost the entire gain came from a 4.2% increase in what customers spend per visit; network-wide sales, lifted by new openings, rose 7.2%, and the group opened its first overseas Shinpachi Shokudo restaurant, in Singapore.
Senshu Electric lifted its full-year profit forecast and raised its annual dividend to ¥170 from ¥160, citing a recovery in orders from semiconductor equipment and machine-tool customers.
Kanamoto's nine-month operating profit rose 31.6% against just 2.6% sales growth amid rental-rate optimization and productivity gains, and the equipment renter used results day to acquire a Kanto site-facilities and event-rental group for an undisclosed cash price.
JM Holdings now expects ¥198.5bn in sales for the year to July 2026, but a ¥1.04bn store impairment and cautious price increases on rising food costs cut its net profit forecast to ¥4.9bn, down 30% from the original guide.
