In market updates during the afternoon session on the 15th, オキサイド raised its full-year operating profit forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027 to ¥1.37 billion. 早稲田学習研究会 also announced a return to profitability in 1Q, while コナミＧ was reported to be raising its target price on the strength of its eFootball business. 極東証券 and 東洋証券 also released preliminary first-half figures, among other earnings and outlook updates for multiple stocks.
オキサイド raised its consolidated full-year operating profit forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027 from ¥930 million to ¥1.37 billion. First-half sales exceeded the plan, while increased shipments of components for data centers and an improved gross profit margin contributed to the result.
早稲田学習研究会 announced that it posted operating profit of ¥370 million in 1Q of the fiscal year ending May 2027. Enrollment increased as a result of its summer course initiatives, allowing the company to maintain its level of sales and profit. The full-year operating profit forecast was left unchanged at ¥1.50 billion.
コナミＧ raised its target price to ¥26,000 based on the view of MS MUFG Securities. The expansion of eFootball's global rollout and the contribution from Yu-Gi-Oh! cards were positively assessed. In addition to recent quarterly results, strong sales of related products lifted the earnings outlook.
極東証券 announced preliminary first-half net profit of ¥1.91 billion, down 22% year on year. The decline in trading income and expenses affected the result. 東洋証券 announced preliminary first-half net profit of ¥2.51 billion, up 69% year on year, but its share price plunged in the afternoon session as the 2Q outlook disappointed the market.
ユーピーアール cut its current-period operating profit forecast to ¥330 million, down 59.7% from the previous period. The company expects sales and profit to remain stalled as it enters a phase of structural reform and faces higher costs.
