DENTSU SOKEN <4812> extended its gains after reporting double-digit profit growth for the January-March quarter. Following the market close on April 28, the company announced first-quarter revenue of 43.8 billion yen (up 8.9% year-on-year), operating profit of 6.6 billion yen (up 14.0%), and net profit of 4.6 billion yen (up 13.1%). The strong performance was well received by investors.

Growth was driven by broad-based demand: the Financial Solutions segment saw expanded system development for mega banks and government-affiliated institutions, while the Business Solutions segment benefited from higher sales of its "POSITIVE" HR solution to utility and trading firms. The Communication IT segment also grew on increased orders from the Dentsu Group and transportation companies. Profitability was further bolstered by improved gross margins in system development and software products.

DENTSU SOKEN maintained its full-year guidance for the fiscal year ending December 2026, forecasting revenue of 182 billion yen (up 10.4%), operating profit of 25.5 billion yen (up 11.4%), and net profit of 18 billion yen (up 10.0%).
