Active Stocks on Tuesday (Closing) - UPR, Acom, Rigaku HD, and Others

UPR Corp. <7065> shares hit their daily limit on Tuesday, opening with a significant gap up. The move suggests a major trend reversal as investors focus on the company’s logistics DX capabilities, including AI-driven remote monitoring and its expanding assist suit business. For the fiscal year ending August 2,026, UPR forecasts operating profit to surge 2.7-fold to 760 million yen. Analysts noted the stock’s attractive valuation in terms of PBR and dividend yield.

Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. <5214> continued its upward momentum to hit new highs. The company announced Tuesday that its ultra-thin glass speaker diaphragm, "Sonarion," was adopted by the high-end audio brand Feastrex. Sonarion is seeing broader adoption across multiple audio brands, strengthening the company’s position in the premium audio components market.

Acom Co., Ltd. <8572> rebounded sharply after raising its consolidated earnings and dividend guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2,026. Revenue is now projected at 337.7 billion yen (up 6.3% year-on-year), with operating profit expected to jump 71.3% to 100.3 billion yen. The upside was driven by higher interest income and yen depreciation, while lower-than-planned bad debt costs also bolstered the bottom line. Acom raised its full-year dividend forecast to 22 yen, up from 14 yen in the prior year.

NS Tool Co., Ltd. <6157> saw concentrated buying after upwardly revising its March 2,026 outlook. The company now expects operating profit of 1.959 billion yen (up 11% year-on-year), a significant turnaround from its previous forecast of a sharp decline. NS Tool is benefiting from the AI data center boom, which has significantly boosted demand for its semiconductor-related cutting tools.

Rigaku Holdings Corp. <268A> hit the daily limit, marking its first significant rebound in seven sessions. The company announced a capital and business alliance with U.S.-based Onto Innovation . Under the agreement, Onto Innovation will acquire a 27.00% stake to become Rigaku’s largest shareholder. The partners aim to co-develop measurement solutions for next-generation semiconductors, targeting a 300 million dollar market by 2,030.

Oxide Corp. <6521> surged to the daily limit after being selected for the Supply Chain Partnership Program by Quantum Denmark. The selection positions Oxide as a key player in the European quantum technology ecosystem. Investors viewed the move as a strategic gateway for the company to accelerate its international industrialization of quantum technology.
