Headwaters Co.,Ltd <4011> continues to surge sharply. The company announced after trading hours on the 15th last week an upward revision to its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026, raising revenue from 5.764 billion yen to 8.555 billion yen (2.2 times the previous year), operating profit from 436 million yen to 753 million yen (3.3 times), and net profit from 231 million yen to 391 million yen (6.8 times). The revision has been well received, driven by strong performance at BBD Initiative, which was absorbed and merged on May 1, and cost reduction effects from the merger that exceed the increased expenses associated with the integration.

In the first quarter (January-March) results announced simultaneously, Headwaters reported revenue of 1.262 billion yen (up 70.8% year-on-year), operating profit of 135 million yen (compared to a loss of 67 million yen in the same period last year), and net profit of 12 million yen (compared to a loss of 20 million yen).
