6 strong-performing stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Standard and Growth markets are highlighted, with their full-year outlooks reportedly revised upward following first-quarter revenue and profit growth. The stocks include 日本電子材料, which manufactures probe cards, and the expansion of data center demand may be providing a tailwind.
