What stands out

  • Revenue of about 1.0 billion yen in the year to September 2025, up 56.9%, turning to an operating profit of 0.055 billion yen
  • Operating profit of 0.14 billion yen in the first three quarters of the year to September 2026
  • Raised its forecast for the year to September 2026 twice, in May and August 2026

What could go wrong

  • It plans to concentrate growth investment such as hiring and office expansion in the fourth quarter, so its full-year operating profit forecast (0.12 billion yen) is lower than the cumulative figure for the first three quarters (0.14 billion yen)
  • AI solutions, which make up most of revenue, are mainly individual contract projects, so results can swing depending on whether large projects are won
  • Net profit of 0.071 billion yen for the year to September 2025 includes a reduction in tax expense (about 0.029 billion yen) from recognizing deferred tax assets
