Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
Cacao and fat costs, plus depreciation on new gummy and bottled-water equipment, cut Fujiya's first-half operating profit by three-quarters and left profit attributable to the company's shareholders at a ¥74mn loss even as sales grew 4.8% to ¥59.41bn.
Senshu Ikeda Holdings disclosed ¥18.18bn of unrealized losses on held-to-maturity bonds at end-June, a figure bigger than the ¥17.3bn net profit it reported for the year to March 2026 and worth 72.0% of its ordinary profit for that year.
Data-center memory shortages, a quicker factory-automation recovery and heat-driven cooling sales push the distributor's full-year operating profit guidance up 25% to ¥7.5bn and its dividend up ¥20 a share to ¥170.
Japan's factory-sensor and machine-vision maker grew quarterly net profit 51% as capital spending held firm in Asia's semiconductor sector and the Americas, while Europe and Japan showed only early signs of recovery; the dividend forecast holds at ¥550 a share.
Keyence's net profit rose 51 percent in the quarter to June on ¥346.6bn in sales, with the company describing steady capital spending across the Americas, Asia, Europe and Japan rather than naming any single region as the fastest grower.
Nitto Denko's operating profit rose 15% in the June quarter as AI server and data-center materials demand outweighed a memory-chip-driven slump in laptop and tablet components, and the company raised its full-year profit forecast to ¥200bn with a bigger dividend and a ¥50bn buyback attached.
A trading boom that more than doubled Tokyo's daily equity turnover pushed Japan Exchange Group to raise its profit outlook for the year to March 2027 by more than a quarter and lift its dividend forecast to ¥77 a share from ¥61.
Japan's online broker posted a 95% jump in quarterly net income to ¥5.61bn as individual investors doubled their trading during the market's climb to a record ¥72,000 on the Nikkei, yet it still won't forecast full-year profit or a dividend because brokerage results swing heavily with market conditions.
Hulic's net profit rose 11% to ¥50.0bn in the six months to June 2026, but a ¥5.1bn goodwill charge tied to its tutoring subsidiary's share price tipped the smaller-business segment into a loss.
A slower-than-expected arrival of generic rivals for two of its drugs, plus a weaker yen, is pushing Otsuka Holdings' first-half net profit to ¥215bn, 68% above the guidance it issued in February.
Quarterly sales fell 21% as pachinko machine shipments cooled from last year's hit title, but a China licensing rebound and sold-out amusement orders pushed Tsuburaya Fields to raise full-year profit guidance 18% and declare an Ultraman 60th-anniversary special dividend that doubles its annual payout.
SBI Global Asset Management's operating profit rose 5.2 times and group assets under management reached about ¥14tn in the June quarter, mostly because two fund managers were folded fully into its results for the first time in a comparable year-on-year quarter.
An April rush of orders tied to Middle East supply fears, followed by price increases, pushed Konishi's quarterly operating profit up 52.5%, with its Bond adhesives unit up 69.5% and Chemicals up 67.2%, while a Construction segment profit fell 24.7% on delayed projects; the company kept its full-year forecast unchanged from April.
GMO Financial Holdings booked record first-half revenue and profit as strong CFD trading and higher deposit-linked interest income offset a slump in over-the-counter FX and crypto revenue, letting the company lift its full-year dividend forecast to ¥57.04 per share from ¥54.76 ahead of formal results due August 5.

Toho Gas's first-quarter operating profit fell 61.5% to ¥7.64bn after Japan's fuel-cost pass-through mechanism flipped from a gain to a loss amid $112.7 crude and a ¥159.6-to-the-dollar yen, even as the company keeps its full-year guidance unchanged.
Operating profit at the Tokyo-listed semiconductor and cybersecurity distributor more than doubled in the June quarter, powered by AI-server chip demand and testing-equipment orders, yet management held its full-year forecast unchanged, wary of memory shortages and longer component lead times.
Canon's first-half net profit rose 9.8% to ¥171.2bn on a 38.8% jump in imaging-division operating profit, even as the industrial-equipment unit's profit fell by a third and the company revised its full-year forecast without disclosing the prior numbers.
Overseas shipments to majority owner Roche and royalty income from a licensed itch drug pushed Chugai's core profit up 23% in the first half, even as Japan's drug-price cuts dented older cancer medicines at home.

Shin-Etsu Chemical's quarterly operating profit rose 4% as AI-driven demand for silicon wafers and photoresists offset a one-third profit drop in the segment selling PVC and caustic soda, and the company is guiding to higher full-year profit, a bigger dividend and the final leg of a ¥250bn buyback.
Japan Post Bank's domestically listed held-to-maturity bonds showed a ¥4.94tn unrealized loss at the end of June, worth 940% of last year's net profit, though the bank says its earnings and dividend forecasts for the year to March 2027 stand unchanged.
