ZENHOREN CO.,LTD. <5845> narrowed losses in afternoon trade and briefly turned positive. Around 12:30 p.m., the company announced its non-consolidated results for the fiscal year ended March 2026 beat previous guidance. Revenue reached 26.15 billion yen (up 1.9% year-on-year) against a prior forecast of 26.1 billion yen, operating profit hit 3.15 billion yen (up 23.6%) against 3.0 billion yen, and net profit reached 1.68 billion yen (up 3.6%) against 1.64 billion yen.

The outperformance was driven by a larger-than-expected reduction in credit costs, achieved by focusing on high-quality clients leveraging the MUFG Group’s credit profile. ZENHOREN refined its screening process via a proprietary AI system and strengthened collection efforts to reduce subrogation claim balances, which are precursors to bad debt. Additionally, operational digitalization and efficiency gains helped reduce expenses beyond initial projections.
