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

  1. Saxa puts restructuring before recovery in new outlook

    Saxa has finally put numbers on its restructuring year, guiding for ¥47.5 billion in sales, ¥1.0 billion in operating profit and ¥16.5 billion in net profit for the year ending March 2027 after leaving the outlook undecided in May. The flattering net-profit line is heavily helped by real-estate sale gains, while the operating bridge still shows pressure from materials, labour and restructuring costs. Management is pairing the reset with executive pay cuts, a new dividend policy from the following year based on the higher of 4% DOE or a 100% adjusted payout ratio, and a Yonezawa factory plan that includes an asset sale and new plant construction.

  2. Semiconductor and machine-tool rebound lifts Senju Denki outlook and dividend

    The company raised full-year sales guidance to JPY 154 billion from JPY 144 billion and net profit to JPY 8.5 billion from JPY 7.7 billion, saying demand from semiconductor manufacturing equipment and machine-tool customers recovered faster than expected. It also raised the annual dividend plan to JPY 160 a share from JPY 150, though construction and electrical-distribution demand still faces project delays tied to cost inflation and labor shortages.

  3. Tea Life halves operating profit outlook after overseas wellness impairment

    The company approved a JPY 35 million impairment and now expects JPY 11.105 billion in sales and JPY 258 million in operating profit for the year ending July, down from JPY 11.983 billion and JPY 533 million. Management blamed US tariff policy, a worsening Middle East situation, weaker wellness channels and higher costs, while keeping its JPY 15 year-end dividend forecast unchanged.

  4. CIJ lifts outlook and dividend as public and energy orders stay firm

    The company raised its sales, profit and dividend outlook for the year to June, citing firm public-sector and energy orders plus the consolidation of Infotec Solution. Useful read-through, but not a pure organic-growth signal: the filing does not split the lift between demand and consolidation.

  5. School-device refresh lifts Uchida Yoko’s sales target, but support costs hold profit line

    Revenue guidance for the year to July rises to ¥421 billion from ¥418 billion and the planned year-end dividend to ¥72 a share, helped by GIGA School replacements and large education-network projects. Operating profit stays at ¥15.4 billion because some local-government system work slipped into next year and the company booked ¥749 million of warranty provisions for future support.

  6. Media Kobo scraps delayed content system, books ¥87 million hit and cuts outlook

    The company will halt a delayed content-production framework, trim outsourced work and expects about ¥46 million of savings this year, while booking roughly ¥87 million of impairment losses. After first-half revenue fell 13.5% and operating loss widened, management also cut full-year guidance sharply, so this reads as clean-up before any credible recovery story.

  7. Disruptors books ¥225 million from subsidiaries, while group results stay unchanged

    Career Index and White Career paid a combined ¥225 million on June 3, which will lift the parent's standalone revenue for the year ending March 2027. Consolidated results do not change, because the cash came from consolidated subsidiaries.

  8. Daisan’s sales grew, but a faster hiring push squeezed profit

    The scaffolding and construction-services group lifted sales 2.8% to ¥11.139 billion in the year to April, but operating profit fell 27.5% to ¥268 million as hiring, training and overseas worker-related costs pushed the operating margin down to 2.4% from 3.4%. Management is guiding for ¥12.0 billion of sales and ¥280 million of operating profit this year, which is a recovery, just not a heroic one.

  9. Kinden self-tender sets up a ¥176bn parent-only gain for Kansai Electric

    Kinden's self-tender bought 33.5 million shares from Kansai Electric and its subsidiary out of 73,412,898 tendered, setting up planned special profit of about ¥176 billion on parent-only accounts and about ¥105 billion on a consolidated basis for the year to March 2027. The useful distinction is that this is a one-off gain from trimming an equity-method affiliate stake, not a clean read on recurring earnings.

  10. People’s first-quarter sales fell, but delayed spending narrowed the loss

    First-quarter sales fell 7.8% to ¥267 million, with an operating loss of ¥57 million and a net loss of ¥65 million. April sales were ¥150.848 million, or 99.2% of the year-earlier month, and the company said the smaller-than-forecast loss partly reflected R&D and advertising costs shifting into later quarters rather than a clean demand surprise.

  11. ITO EN lifts dividend as profit shrinks and cash falls

    Revenue for the year ended April 30 rose to ¥497,877 million, but operating profit fell to ¥21,684 million and net income to ¥3,466 million, while annual common dividends increased to 48.00 yen a share. Operating cash flow fell to ¥11,301 million and year-end cash to ¥71,080 million, and management is guiding for ¥500,000 million in sales and ¥20,000 million in operating profit in the current year.

  12. Performance fees lift Simplex Financial Holdings profit 50.7%, split-adjusted EPS reaches ¥317.33

    Simplex Financial Holdings posted revenue of ¥22.5 billion for the year ended March 2026, up from ¥16.3 billion, while net profit attributable to owners climbed to ¥10.6 billion from ¥7.1 billion. Management says assets under management rose 2.9%, but performance fees jumped 53.6%, which is where most of the operating leverage showed up. Split-adjusted earnings per share were ¥317.33 versus ¥137.14 a year earlier, and cash and cash equivalents finished March at ¥23.6 billion. The company is not giving earnings guidance for the current year and has left the dividend forecast undecided.

  13. Toyo Corporation cuts profit outlook as property costs move out of inventory

    Toyo Corporation kept revenue guidance unchanged at ¥2,622 million for the year ending March 2026, but cut operating profit to ¥102 million from ¥136 million, ordinary profit to ¥38 million from ¥73 million, and net profit attributable to parent shareholders to ¥22 million from ¥44 million. The reason is an inventory review, not a sales miss. The company said part of the real-estate property costs previously included in inventory should instead be recognised as current-period cost of goods sold, which pushes down profit while leaving revenue unchanged.

  14. Bushiroad pares back profit upgrade after share-sale tax error

    After finding a tax-calculation error on gains from selling a related-company stake, Bushiroad cut net-profit guidance for the year ending June 2026 to ¥4,626 million from the mistakenly published ¥5,516 million. Revenue, operating profit and ordinary profit guidance were left unchanged.

  15. Ito En lifts full-year outlook as cost cuts, overseas sales and FX gains bolster profit

    Ito En lifted its outlook for the year ended April 2026 to ¥497.8 billion in sales from ¥495.0 billion, ¥21.6 billion in operating profit from ¥20.0 billion, and ¥23.2 billion in ordinary profit from ¥21.0 billion. Net profit guidance rose to ¥3.4 billion from ¥1.0 billion. The company said total cost cuts, solid overseas business led by North America and ASEAN, and foreign-exchange gains from a weaker yen more than offset stubborn raw-material inflation and a still-frugal consumer backdrop.

  16. BlueMeme trims profit outlook as hiring push and outsourcing squeeze margins

    BlueMeme barely changed revenue guidance for the year ending March 2026, trimming it to ¥3,299 million from ¥3,300 million. Profit took the hit instead: operating profit is now seen at ¥125 million versus ¥150 million, ordinary profit at ¥130 million versus ¥150 million, and net profit attributable to parent shareholders at ¥83 million versus ¥100 million. Management blamed heavier operating expenses from engineer recruitment, outsourced support while new hires are still in training, and higher hiring costs. The company also says the figures remain unaudited estimates, and its June 26 annual meeting will need a continuation session because audit procedures on the year's accounts are not yet complete.

  17. Akatsuki Honsha pairs a softer profit outlook with a five-year 15% ROE target

    Bottom line: Akatsuki Honsha sees revenue holding at ¥70,000 million in the year to March 2027, but profits easing as it takes a conservative view on market-sensitive securities earnings and slimmer property margins. Its new five-year plan targets average ROE above 15%, with explicit end-goals for IFA client assets and used-condominium volumes, while excluding any future realization of gains on the investment securities portfolio.

  18. Sangetsu's record year sets up a bigger overseas profit test

    The move: after a record year to March 2026, Sangetsu set a tougher medium-term task for overseas operations, targeting sales of 542.0 and operating profit of 30.0 by March 2030 on the company's disclosed ¥100 million scale. The catch: next year's operating profit guide slips as wages, logistics and growth investment rise, and Middle East-related effects are not yet quantified.

  19. G-Beemap deepens year-end loss after pulling forward inventory write-down

    The catch: booking a ¥36,237 thousand impairment on slow-moving communications equipment widened the year-ended March 2026 net loss to ¥151,553 thousand from ¥115,316 thousand and cut net assets to ¥502,808 thousand. Because the charge was brought forward from later periods, the next year's profit guide improved even with sales guidance unchanged at ¥1,900 million.

  20. Hakuhodo DY beat its margin target early, but gross profit still has to catch up

    Hakuhodo DY says restructuring has already pushed adjusted margin above its March 2027 goal, but gross profit growth and ROE still lag. Management's plan for the current year leans on digital win rates, Digital Holdings synergies, a mid-3% domestic ad market and AI investment that raises system costs more than headcount.

  21. DyDo gets back to operating profit, but Turkey accounting still drags the quarter

    DyDo returned to first-quarter operating profit as overseas beverages, especially Turkey and Poland, outpaced domestic weakness. But IAS 29 hyperinflation accounting, including a ¥1.157 billion loss on net monetary position already reflected in results, still held down ordinary and net profit.
