Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
Longer Middle East shipping routes and rising crude prices turned Idemitsu Kosan's refining timing lag into a ¥217.5bn quarterly profit, but the oil major has left its far more modest full-year forecast untouched.
Asahi Group Holdings reported a 69% rise in first-half net profit and a 56% jump in operating profit, but core business profit fell 8.5% once currency effects are stripped out, and its Japan and East Asia unit is still absorbing the fallout from a September 2025 cyberattack.
Itochu Corporation now holds a 5% stake in the used-goods retailer under a February alliance, and Bookoff's profit for the year to May 2026 came in 25.6% above the guidance it issued last July.
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.
Metaplanet's revenue and operating profit both more than doubled in the first half, but a ¥184.3bn non-cash writedown on its 43,000 BTC holding pushed the company to a ¥182.8bn net loss. It also closed a ¥2.1bn deal for Siiibo Securities, now Metaplanet Securities, to sell bitcoin-backed corporate bonds under a program called BitBonds.
RS Technologies grew six-month operating profit 8.9% to ¥7.7bn, then days later had its China unit pay about ¥10.8bn for 60% of an Anhui epitaxial-wafer maker, a bet on higher-value power-chip materials that full-year guidance does not yet capture.
The payments processor's six-month transaction volume climbed 15.2% to ¥1.13tn, and operating profit jumped 161.6%, far outpacing revenue growth of 14.3%.
Oisix's B2B foodservice unit, built on the SHiDAX consolidation completed in September 2025, pushed first-quarter operating profit up 24% even as revenue fell 8.6% on a divested vehicle business. A separate, reorganization-driven tax cut, not the profit gain, funded the dividend increase management confirmed alongside results.
Consolidating US homebuilder Tri Pointe Homes lifted Sumitomo Forestry's half-year sales 17.5% to ¥1.26tn, but high American mortgage rates, buyer incentives and acquisition costs nearly halved net profit and pushed the equity ratio down to 30.5%.
PowerX's first-half revenue rose 48% and its net loss narrowed to ¥1.55bn, but inventory and supplier-advance buildups for back-loaded battery deliveries pushed operating cash flow to a ¥4.66bn outflow, leaving the storage-system maker drawing on an ¥8bn Mizuho-led credit line and, after the half closed, a separate ¥5bn refinancing loan.
Medley's first-half net profit rose 131% to ¥1.5bn on hiring-platform growth, and the healthcare-jobs company also borrowed ¥5bn from two banks and took full ownership of the business behind Recruit Medical Career weeks after the half closed.
Rokko Butter cut its full-year operating-profit forecast by ¥800mn, 34.8% below February's guidance, after ingredient-cost inflation in its cheese and nut lines, a weaker yen and earthquake damage at a subsidiary factory outran the price increases it has planned from September.
Japan's family-restaurant operator now expects ¥20.5bn in annual profit, up ¥1.0bn from its February guidance, after existing-store sales grew 6.5% in the first half on higher customer counts and bigger average checks, even as its inflation-cost estimate rose to ¥14.5bn from ¥13.0bn.
TRIAL Holdings folded Seiyu into its accounts on July 1, 2025, pushing total assets to ¥807.8bn from ¥300.3bn, while the equity ratio more than halved to 16.2% and attributable profit dropped from ¥11.8bn to ¥3.5bn as the retailer absorbed acquisition borrowing costs.
Record first-quarter profit at Japan's top department-store group is funding a two-for-one share split, a doubled buyback share ceiling and a real, if disguised, ¥10 rise in this year's dividend guide.
Bad weather cut theme-park visitors and operating profit by roughly a third at Greenland Resort in the six months through June, but a no-cash sale of a Hokkaido hotel business triggered a deferred-tax adjustment that pushed net profit up anyway.
Half-year net profit at the Tokyo-listed test-equipment maker jumped 140% to ¥11.5bn as memory makers redirected production capacity toward high-bandwidth chips, even as a smaller test-socket unit's losses nearly tripled.
ExaWizards' quarterly revenue rose 41% to ¥3.45bn, but the bigger change sits on the balance sheet: a ¥5.4bn share allotment to Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group pushed the AI developer's equity ratio to 70%, and it now plans its first dividend since listing.
H.U. Group Holdings swung to a ¥1.57bn quarterly profit as price adjustments fixed its loss-making testing-services unit, while a blood-based Alzheimer's diagnostic won certification in Europe.
A server-board adhesion chemical and semiconductor process materials drove Shikoku Kasei's first-half operating profit up 80%, and the Japanese chemical maker has now raised both its full-year earnings guidance and its dividend outlook.
Mec's chemical additives for semiconductor packaging boards posted a 34% sales jump and a six-point margin gain in the six months to June, as generative-AI data-center chipmakers buy more of its CZ-series adhesion promoters across Japan, Taiwan and China.
Two completed exits, including the sale of M&I and Toyo Engineering, generated realized carried interest that pushed Integral's half-year profit to ¥8.77bn from ¥1.70bn a year earlier, its regulatory filing shows.
A ¥787 million quarterly profit came with a ¥6.48 billion buyback and a three-for-one stock split set for October, while two newly acquired businesses have yet to show up in Akatsuki's income statement.
Memory-chip price gains and faster-than-planned new business growth lift the Tokyo-listed distributor's operating profit forecast 135%, and its board has revised the year-end dividend forecast to include a one-off ¥100 special payout on top of the unchanged base dividend.
