YAMAZEN CORPORATION <8051> has been trading strongly, bucking the broader risk-off sentiment in the market. The machinery trading company has a strong track record in handling machine tools and logistics equipment. Its production materials segment, which accounts for more than 60% of sales, has been performing well and contributing to earnings growth. The company has been actively working on improving management efficiency, resulting in notable improvements in profit margins. Against this backdrop, the company announced revisions to its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 after the close of trading on the 30th. Operating profit was raised from the previous forecast of \10.0 billion to \11.5 billion (up 21% year-on-year), attracting buying interest in response to the upgrade. The stock also appeals to value investors, with attractive valuations including low P/E and P/B ratios, and a dividend yield of around 3.7%, drawing persistent buying focused on the potential for revaluation.
