Hitting the daily limit up. It released financial results for the first half of last week, with operating profit at 11.5 billion yen, a 46.1% increase from the same period last year, exceeding the previous estimate of 9.5 billion yen. The full-year forecast has been raised from the previous 24.5 billion yen to 28 billion yen, a 24.2% increase from the previous year, following an upward revision at the time of the first quarter results. The annual dividend has also been increased from the original plan of 106 yen to 142 yen, a 40 yen increase from the previous period. The significant increase in sales in the relatively profitable solution business seems to be the main reason for the profit increase.
DMG Mori Seiki <6141>: 2616 yen (-324.5 yen).
Significant continued decline.

Yamaha <7951>: 1074 yen (-171.5 yen).
Significant drop. It released second quarter financial results last weekend, with operating profit for July to September at 2.8 billion yen, a 68.7% decrease from the same period last year, significantly lower than the market expectation of around 1.1 billion yen. The impairment of production facilities at overseas factories (about 7.8 billion yen) is the background. Furthermore, the full-year forecast has been downwardly revised from the previous 44.5 billion yen to 27 billion yen, a 6.9% decrease from the previous year, reversing to an expected decline in profits. The consensus was likely around 40 billion yen. It appears that there has been a significant downward revision in the musical instrument business.
Nitto Bose <3110>: 6000 yen (-1400 yen).
Significant continued decline. It announced financial results for the first half last weekend, with operating profit reaching 7.35 billion yen, a 2.4-fold increase from the same period last year, exceeding the upward revision to 7 billion yen made at the time of the first quarter results. The full-year forecast of 15 billion yen, a 78.8% increase from the previous year, remains unchanged, but it has been decided to raise the annual dividend from 55 yen in the previous period to 87 yen. However, while operating profit was 3.91 billion yen in the first quarter, a 4.4-fold increase from the same period last year, it slowed down to 3.44 billion yen in the July-September period, a 54.0% increase, indicating a sense of near-term exhaustion.

Agyu <9330>: 802 yen (+5 yen)
Rebound. After the close of trading on the 1st, they announced a downward revision of the full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending September 24. They revised the revenue down to 1.56 billion yen (5.4% decrease) and the operating profit down to 0.001 billion yen (98.3% decrease). However, due to factors such as a large-scale project in the corporate support area that was expected in the fourth quarter being rescheduled to the next period and a reduction in project size, the operating profit is now expected to fall below the previous forecast. The downward revision is attributed to the delay in the large project, leading to a trend of buying due to the perceived opportunity.
