GoodComA <3475>: 754 yen (-97 yen)

Significant decline. The company announced its third-quarter financial results the previous day, with cumulative operating profit increasing by 84.4% year-on-year to 2.86 billion yen, a significant turnaround from the 32.2% decline in the first half. However, the progress rate towards the unchanged full-year plan of 5.34 billion yen, which is 2.5 times higher than the previous year, remains at 53.6%, and concerns about not achieving it are not completely dispelled. There is a sense of saturation and a leading position in advance. The announcement of a share buyback of up to 0.9 million shares, representing 3.12% of the issued shares, and 765 million yen, is limited in positive movements.

The stock price limit up. The financial results for the first half of the previous day showed an operating profit of 37 billion yen, an increase of 15.2% from the same period of the previous year, and the rate of increase in profit has expanded from the 4.9% increase in the first quarter. The shareholder return policy for the three-year medium-term plan has been decided. It has been decided to transition from the previous stable dividend policy to a limited measure during the three-year medium-term management plan period, with a dividend payout ratio of 100% or 20 yen per share, whichever is lower. Accordingly, the annual dividend for the January period of 25 will be increased by 16 yen from the previous period to 20 yen.

R Planner <2983>: ¥1238 (+ ¥19)

Rebound. After the close of trading on the 12th, the company announced its second quarter financial results for the fiscal year ending in January 2025, which are viewed as positive developments. Revenue was ¥20.267 billion (up 27.9% from the same period last year), and operating profit was ¥1.047 billion (up 563.1% from the same period last year). The number of units sold for custom-built homes and condominiums increased, and revenue continued to grow steadily. In terms of expenses, investment in acquiring talented individuals and other initiatives has led to an increase in sales and general administrative expenses due to higher personnel costs. However, the company has seen improved gross profit due to appropriate pricing and a decrease in the cost of certain construction materials.

Tsukuruba <2978>: ¥877 (- ¥47)

Decline. After the close of trading on the 12th, the company announced its full-year financial results for the fiscal year ending in July 2024. Due to the expansion of the Kawamo business, full-year sales reached ¥5.483 billion (up 42% from the previous year), and gross profit reached ¥2.824 billion (up 16%), both setting new record highs. In addition, the company's initial goal of improving overall productivity has been progressing smoothly, and operating profit achieved a full-year profit of ¥0.155 billion, an increase of ¥0.287 billion compared to the previous year. For the fiscal year ending in July 2025, the company anticipates a 46% increase in sales and a 48% increase in operating profit, thanks to further expansion of the Kawamo business. However, underperformance of operating profit compared to the pre-announcement estimate has resulted in a preference for selling.

PB Systems <4447>: ¥586 (+ ¥52)

The purpose is to enhance capital efficiency and provide benefits to shareholders, as well as to pursue a flexible capital policy in response to the business environment.
