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

  1. Fujikura lifts outlook after surprise hyperscaler optical orders

    Fujikura raised first-half operating profit guidance to ¥174bn from ¥92bn and full-year operating profit to ¥310bn from ¥211bn. The company tied the move to unexpected optical-component projects from hyperscalers, selling-price increases and a milder hydrogen shortage impact in its information and telecommunications business. The scale is hard to ignore: first-half sales guidance rose to ¥778bn from ¥594bn, while full-year revenue moved to ¥1.462tn from ¥1.243tn. Fujikura says pricing and the easing of hydrogen constraints should continue into the second half, though it did not say whether the surprise hyperscaler orders will recur at the same pace.

  2. Wakamoto swings back to profit, but cash flow stays negative

    Sales rose to ¥9.91bn and ordinary income turned positive at ¥256.4mn, while net income reached ¥227.2mn. Operating cash flow was still negative at ¥486.9mn, even as the annual dividend rose to ¥3.50 a share.

  3. Komatsu sales edged up to ¥4.13tn, but profits slipped back

    Komatsu's annual report shows revenue edging up to ¥4.13tn in the year to March 2026 from ¥4.10tn, while profit before tax fell to ¥537.26bn from ¥604.84bn and net income attributable to owners slipped to ¥376.39bn from ¥439.61bn. Total assets still reached ¥6.42tn and basic EPS came in at ¥413.90, but last year's profit level proved harder to repeat.

  4. FALTEC swings to a net loss as sales and ordinary income fall

    Sales fell to ¥73.20bn from ¥79.11bn and ordinary income to ¥1.59bn from ¥2.86bn, while profit attributable to owners swung to a ¥837mn loss from a ¥328mn profit. The filing excerpt does not say why.

  5. IDEC earnings rebound, with sales at ¥72.97bn and EPS at ¥131.22

    IDEC reported sales of ¥72.97bn, operating income of ¥6.12bn and ordinary income of ¥6.57bn for the year to March 2026, up from ¥67.38bn, ¥3.65bn and ¥3.48bn a year earlier. Profit attributable to owners of parent rose to ¥3.87bn from ¥1.78bn, and EPS to ¥131.22 from ¥60.36.

  6. Meiho heads for a loss after Resonagate goodwill write-down

    Meiho now expects a ¥40mn net loss for the year ending June 2026, not the ¥200mn profit it guided before, after deciding to book about ¥280mn of goodwill impairment at Resonagate. Sales guidance stayed at ¥13.5bn, but operating profit was cut to ¥490mn from ¥540mn as management cited higher recruiting costs, weak pricing power in clerical staffing and slower demand as AI, RPA and BPO spread.

  7. Def consulting booked a ¥2.15bn loss on ¥854.1mn of sales

    Def consulting reported ¥854.1mn in sales for the year to March 2026, but booked an ordinary loss of ¥2.15bn and a net loss of ¥2.15bn. Financing activities brought in ¥4.22bn while investing used ¥3.31bn, meaning the funding flows were far larger than the revenue line.

  8. Daiwa's revenue hit ¥1.47tn as parent profit reached ¥175.3bn

    Daiwa Securities Group reported ¥1.47tn in operating revenue, ¥720.4bn in net operating revenue, ¥234.5bn in ordinary income and ¥175.3bn in parent profit. The figures are group totals rather than a business-line bridge, but they are enough to show the scale of the latest year.

  9. Aozora Bank swings back to profit, with net assets at ¥491.6bn

    Aozora Bank's annual report fixes the recovery in audited numbers: parent profit swung to ¥25.7bn from a ¥49.9bn loss, while ordinary income rose to ¥242.3bn from ¥231.5bn. Total assets ended the year at ¥8.60tn and net assets at ¥491.6bn, enough to say the bank finished not just back in the black but on a sturdier balance-sheet footing.

  10. Itoham Yonekyu profit recovers as sales top ¥1tn

    The food group posted ¥1.07tn of net sales, ¥30.40bn of ordinary income and ¥20.23bn of parent profit in the year to March 2026. The filing is short on drivers, but it is clear on direction: sales kept rising and profit recovered with them.

  11. Hirogin books ¥251.21bn of income as Hiroshima Bank stays the core engine

    Hirogin's audited annual report shows ordinary income of ¥251.21bn, ordinary profit of ¥62.02bn and parent profit of ¥43.73bn on total assets of ¥12.21tn. A companion control report says Hiroshima Bank still generates about two-thirds of ordinary revenue, which remains the clearest map of where the group earns its keep.

  12. Sumitomo Mitsui Trust kept growing trust fees as assets topped ¥82tn

    Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group's audited annual report shows ordinary income of ¥2.98tn, profit attributable of ¥317.6bn, trust fees of ¥125.4bn and total assets of ¥82.17tn. The more durable signal is the fee line: trust fees rose from ¥120.9bn a year earlier even as the balance sheet expanded, suggesting the franchise grew on more than bulk alone.

  13. Headwaters corrects full-year EPS forecast to ¥72.92, leaves sales and profit targets intact

    The company corrected projected full-year EPS to ¥72.92 from ¥101.66, but left net sales at ¥8.56bn, operating income at ¥753mn and profit attributable at ¥391mn. So this is a per-share math repair, not a fresh change in the underlying business plan.

  14. Mutoh Seiko cuts operating outlook, but lifts net income on subsidiary sale

    Full-year sales guidance falls to ¥30.0bn from ¥31.0bn and operating profit to ¥2.7bn from ¥3.1bn because Daiei Electronics will leave consolidation. Net income guidance rises to ¥3.0bn from ¥2.0bn because the subsidiary sale creates an extraordinary gain, which is a very different sort of good news.

  15. Mirai REIT adds a hotel after an April payout rise, but next distributions still ease

    The REIT reported ¥6.11bn of revenue, ¥2.57bn of net profit and a ¥1,349 distribution for the half-year to April, then agreed to buy Smile Hotel Kumagaya for ¥1.20bn. Management still guides distributions down to ¥1,290 and then ¥1,225, so the acquisition looks more like support than a new growth leg.

  16. Tosei Reit maps out flat payouts after April rise, with reserves and sponsor equity

    Tosei Reit paid ¥3,926 per unit for the half-year to April and guides the next two periods at ¥3,826. The first forecast is matched by per-unit profit; the second is not, with the filing explicitly relying on an internal-reserve drawdown. A small third-party allotment to sponsor Tosei is also earmarked mainly for debt repayment after the May purchase of TR Garden Yokohama Nakata.

  17. NTT UD REIT lifts profit on asset sale, but next payouts lean on reserves

    NTT UD REIT's April half-year revenue slipped 1.8% to ¥13.0bn, but net income rose 31.7% to ¥5.1bn after a partial Shinbashi sale gain, and the current distribution held at ¥3,140. Management guides to ¥3,100 for each of the next two periods with reserve reversals built in, while also adding a ¥1.05bn Osaka housing acquisition, a refinancing loan and a buyback of up to 22,000 units.

  18. KDX raises its payout again, but the next step up leans on reserves

    KDX delivered a ¥4,166 distribution for the half-year to April on ¥39.84bn of revenue and ¥17.04bn of net income, and guides to ¥4,227 in each of the next two periods. The catch is that forecast net income falls in the first of those periods, while payout support comes from planned reserve withdrawals; a separate buyback of up to 50,000 units, or ¥6.0bn, sits alongside guidance rather than inside it.

  19. Capcom nears ¥200bn in sales as profit figures hit five-year highs

    Net sales reached ¥195.36 billion, ordinary income ¥74.13 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent ¥54.58 billion, all the top figures in the filing's five-year summary. A separate internal control report said controls were effective and highlighted game software work in progress and deferred revenue tied to free downloadable content as key review areas.

  20. Astellas revenue passes ¥2.1tn as profit and ROE recover

    Revenue rose to ¥2,139,245,000,000 in the year to March 2026 from ¥1,912,323,000,000 a year earlier, while profit before tax jumped to ¥376,587,000,000 and net profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥291,535,000,000. ROE reached 17.4%, and a separate internal control report said financial-reporting controls were effective as of March 31.

  21. Shimizu Bank returns to firmer ground with ¥3.13bn ordinary profit

    The bank reported ordinary income of ¥33,674,000,000, ordinary profit of ¥3,134,000,000 and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥2,000,000,000 for the year to March 2026. Total assets ended the year at ¥1,813,848,000,000, a clear step away from the loss-making year to March 2024.

  22. Nisshin OilliO lifted sales, but ordinary income slipped in the year to March

    Net sales reached ¥554,251,000,000 in the year to March 2026, up from ¥530,878,000,000 a year earlier, while ordinary income slipped to ¥16,030,000,000 from ¥18,089,000,000. Profit attributable to owners of parent still climbed to ¥23,988,000,000, leaving investors with a bigger business and a less tidy earnings bridge.

  23. Tsugami’s latest year turned higher sales into higher returns

    Revenue reached ¥129.14 billion in the year to March 2026, profit before tax rose to ¥35.62 billion and ROE improved to 23.4%. The filing's five-year summary shows the latest year as the high point for both revenue and pre-tax profit, with the owners' equity ratio also rising to 52.0%.

  24. Megmilk Snow Brand keeps sales flat as parent profit jumps

    Net sales were ¥615.76 billion in the year to March 2026, essentially unchanged from ¥615.81 billion a year earlier, while ordinary income edged up to ¥20.48 billion. Profit attributable to owners of the parent rose to ¥32.89 billion from ¥13.90 billion, and the filing does not spell out why the bottom line moved so sharply.
