Shares of Adtec Plasma Technology Co., Ltd. <6668> extended their winning streak to a seventh session, scaling a new high. The company's consolidated earnings for the interim period ended in February, released after the market close on the 10th, showed a decline in both revenue and profit. Sales fell 13.2% year-on-year to 5.46 billion yen, operating profit dropped 20.7% to 640 million yen, and net profit slid 36.9% to 624 million yen. However, the net profit easily beat the previous 360 million yen forecast, drawing positive market reactions. This beat was largely driven by foreign exchange gains logged as non-operating income. In its core semiconductor and LCD-related business, demand for high-performance semiconductors, primarily for servers and data centers, remained solid amid continued AI and cloud-related investments. Conversely, mixed demand in non-AI applications led to a significant drop in sales and profit. The absence of large-scale projects in the research and university-related segment, which boosted the first half of the previous year, also weighed on results. Adtec Plasma maintained its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2026, projecting sales of 11.6 billion yen (down 8.5% year-on-year), operating profit of 1.58 billion yen (down 12.6%), and net profit of 1.01 billion yen (down 49.7%).
