HODEN SEIMITSU KAKO KENKYUSHO CO.,LTD. <6469> gapped up and continued to surge on Monday. The rally follows the company's announcement after the market close on April 3, in which it significantly hiked its FY Feb 2026 guidance.

Consolidated sales are now expected at \14.312 billion (up 11.0% YoY), while net profit is projected to reach \823 billion (up 41.2% YoY)?swinging from an earlier forecast of a decline to a substantial gain. Alongside the earnings beat, the company raised its year-end dividend forecast to \18 per share, up from the previous year's \12.

The upbeat outlook is driven by strong performance in the Mold and Surface Treatment segments, alongside productivity gains. Profitability was also bolstered by lower-than-expected costs due to deferred maintenance and recruitment delays.
