First-corporation Inc. <1430> ? Rebounded sharply. At 1:00 p.m., the company disclosed revisions to its full-year earnings forecast alongside third-quarter consolidated results for the fiscal year ending May 2026. While the company lowered its sales forecast from the previous 40 billion yen to 36.3 billion yen (down 16.0% year-on-year), it raised its net profit forecast from 1.75 billion yen to 1.84 billion yen (up 10.2% year-on-year). At the same time, First-corporation increased its year-end dividend forecast by 2 yen to 46 yen (compared to 42 yen in the previous fiscal year), drawing buyers. Sales were impacted by fewer-than-expected commercial land sales in the real estate business. On the profit side, however, improved construction profitability negotiations and high-margin contracts in real estate contributed positively. For the June-February period, sales were 23.989 billion yen (down 31.0% year-on-year) and net profit was 997 million yen (down 16.8% year-on-year).

SK JAPAN CO., LTD. <7608> ? Surged. The company disclosed its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027 at noon on the 14th, alongside consolidated results for the fiscal year ended February 2026. For the current fiscal year, SK JAPAN expects sales of 17 billion yen (up 4.7% year-on-year) and ordinary profit of 1.96 billion yen (up 4.1% year-on-year), calling for consecutive record-high profits. Previous results exceeded forecasts, which fueled buying. The dividend forecast is set at 24 yen per share annually. The company implemented a 2-for-1 stock split effective March 1st. On a post-split basis, the previous annual dividend was 23.50 yen, making this an effective dividend increase. For the fiscal year ended February 2026, sales were 16.232 billion yen (up 22.3% year-on-year) and net profit was 1.333 billion yen (up 43.5% year-on-year). Strong sales of character products for crane games to amusement facilities drove earnings, while sales to specialty stores and mass retailers also increased.

Izawa Towel <365A> ? Higher. At 10:10 a.m. on the 14th, the company announced the launch of two new models under its "Towel Laboratory" brand on Amazon in the United States, which attracted buying interest.
