Japan Earnings News (Page 27)

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

  1. QPS raises profit forecast on early JAXA subsidy booking, even as sales slip

    The catch: QPS now expects revenue of ¥3.8bn, 5% below its April forecast, but earlier recognition of ¥144mn in JAXA subsidy income and a ¥100mn deferred-tax asset lift ordinary profit and net income guidance to ¥1.1bn.

  2. Fuji Unite Holdings' ¥483mn subsidiary payout lifts parent revenue, not group earnings

    ¥483mn in dividends from two subsidiaries will show up as operating revenue at Fuji Unite Holdings in the year ending March 2027, but the company says the payment leaves consolidated results untouched.

  3. TONE lifts profit outlook despite lower sales, citing higher-value products and cost cuts

    Bottom line: TONE cut its sales forecast to ¥7.86bn but raised operating profit to ¥1.36bn and the year-end dividend to ¥13 a share, saying higher-value-added products, better production efficiency and cost cuts more than offset weaker demand.

  4. Batonz reaches ¥2.00bn in sales as profit and hiring climb

    The number: Batonz reported ¥2.00bn in sales, ¥367.3mn in ordinary income and 126 employees for the year to March, while separate filings showed office expansion and effective financial-reporting controls.

  5. Hokkaido Chuo Bus extends earnings climb, adds special dividend

    The number: Hokkaido Chuo Bus lifted sales to ¥38.38bn and net profit to ¥2.78bn in the year to March 2026. The catch: the group is broader than buses alone, with construction, building maintenance and a Niseko tourism-development unit all material to the revenue base.

  6. MS&AD pushes ROE to 8.65% as profit hits ¥510.6bn

    The number: Insurance revenue rose to ¥6.44tn in the year to March, lifting profit attributable to owners to ¥510.6bn and owners' equity to ¥6.42tn. A separate controls report said financial-reporting controls were effective, but the filing excerpt does not show the profit mix behind the jump.

  7. Sanrio sales hit ¥194.1bn as ordinary income reaches ¥79.3bn

    The numbers: Sanrio posted ¥194.1bn in sales, ¥79.3bn in ordinary income and ¥54.6bn in parent profit for the year to March 2026, with total assets ending the period at ¥234.7bn.

  8. unbanked swings to a ¥2.827bn ordinary loss after gold-trade failure exposed control gaps

    The number: corrected annual accounts show unbanked swung to a ¥2.827bn ordinary loss after ¥1.34bn in gold-trade receivables went uncollected. The catch: the auditor gave an unqualified opinion, but the company still judged its reporting controls ineffective and the TSE had already put the shares on special alert.

  9. Daido Steel lifts profit as Tohoku Steel holding ratio reaches 97.54%

    The move: revenue in the year to March edged up to ¥578.13bn, profit rose faster, and Daido then disclosed a 97.54% post-offer holding ratio in Tohoku Steel, linking sturdier earnings to an ongoing consolidation push.

  10. J. Front lifts business profit, but Shimonoseki closure exposes a split retail picture

    Department-store and mall demand kept business profit growing, but lower developer revenue, weaker one-off gains and the planned closure of Daimaru Shimonoseki show J. Front's momentum is concentrating in stronger urban assets.

  11. Prudential’s 2025 net income rose to $3,576mn, assets reached $773,740mn

    Net income rose to $3,576mn and diluted EPS to $9.99 in 2025, while total assets ended the year at $773,740mn and equity at $32,787mn.

  12. Daimaru Enawin's sales eased, but ordinary income rose to ¥1.40bn

    Revenue in the year to March 2026 fell to ¥32.70bn from ¥33.42bn a year earlier, while ordinary income climbed, but the filing extract does not show what the second submission of the amended report corrected.

  13. A 15-month reset at Hinokiya opens a window on Nihon Aqua’s parent balance sheet

    Hinokiya Group, which controls 54.95 per cent of the listed subsidiary and is wholly owned by Yamada Holdings, reported ¥137.17bn of sales, ¥2.81bn of net profit and ¥21.61bn of loans to related companies after moving its year-end to March.

  14. CYBERDYNE's rental core held steady, but Europe dragged sales lower

    A near-flat ¥2.00bn rental business could not offset a 44% drop in EMEA and a 68% slump in other revenue, leaving CYBERDYNE's sales down 12.3% in the year to March even as net profit turned positive.

  15. Neis guides for 95% operating profit jump as franchise push accelerates

    Sales are forecast to reach ¥3.65bn as the children’s gymnastics operator adds 37 franchise sites, but part of the lift comes from store transfers and price increases.

  16. Nexon to book ¥373.46bn dividend from NEXON Korea, with no group earnings lift

    The catch: Nexon will book a ¥373.46bn dividend from NEXON Korea Corporation as non-operating income in standalone accounts for the year ending December 2026, while consolidated earnings stay unchanged because the payment is eliminated inside the group.

  17. MS&AD lifts dividend again as profit guide falls to ¥425bn

    The tension: MS&AD reported ¥510.6bn of profit for the year just ended, but its current-year guide falls to ¥425.0bn even as the annual dividend climbs from ¥160 to ¥170.

  18. MIRAINI lifts guide and dividend as memory prices and India EV demand improve

    The number: MIRAINI now expects ¥542bn in sales and ¥15.2bn in net profit for the year ending March 2027 after stronger memory pricing and India EV two-wheeler electronics demand. The catch: reported earnings still include a ¥7bn integration-related negative-goodwill gain that management says will not be used as a dividend source.

  19. Kubotek ends the year with ¥56.1mn in net assets and a 7.0% equity ratio

    The number: Kubotek’s annual report showed only ¥56.1mn of net assets and a 7.0% equity ratio, even with sales at ¥2.10bn and losses still on the books.

  20. J-Lease sales hit ¥21.57bn as assets top ¥22bn

    The move: J-Lease's annual report shows net sales of ¥21.57bn, ordinary income of ¥3.59bn and parent profit of ¥2.47bn, with total assets reaching ¥22.14bn as the rent-guarantee specialist keeps expanding.

  21. Aichi Steel turns modest sales growth into a sharper profit lift

    The move: Aichi Steel's revenue reached ¥304.34bn in the year to March, while pre-tax profit rose to ¥18.49bn and ROE improved to 4.8%, making this more of a profitability story than a top-line one.

  22. Gokurakuyu’s recovery extends as net assets reach ¥4.91bn

    Sales rose to ¥16.25bn and profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥929.0mn in the year to March 2026, extending Gokurakuyu’s recovery, even if the supplied filings say little about the next year’s pace.

  23. Zojirushi leaves annual targets unchanged after first-half profit rises

    The move: first-half operating profit rose 7 per cent to ¥5.21bn and net assets increased, but Zojirushi kept its full-year earnings target and ¥46 annual dividend unchanged, citing higher raw-material costs, a weaker yen assumption and uncertain US tariff refunds.

  24. Nagaileben raises year-end dividend and adds ¥1bn buyback as nine-month profit slips

    A planned ¥70 year-end dividend and a new ¥1bn repurchase cap show Nagaileben leaning on its balance sheet even as nine-month net profit slipped 1.0 per cent and full-year guidance stayed put.
