Datasection Inc. <3905> - Surged by its 500 yen daily limit to 2,843 yen, overwhelmed by buy orders. The big data analysis and consulting firm made a full-scale entry into the AI data center business last year, triggering a massive stock rally. Despite a subsequent sharp correction, selling pressure subsided from April, and the stock formed a large bullish candlestick last week, signaling a major trend reversal. Against this backdrop, the company announced a robust earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 after the market close on May 15. Driven by the expanding AI data center business, Datasection projects exponential growth, forecasting sales of 162.193 billion yen (up 4.8-fold year-on-year) and an operating profit of 24.815 billion yen (up 7-fold year-on-year). This positive surprise sparked heavy buying.

TERUMO CORPORATION <4543> - Jumped sharply, opening with a wide gap up. After the market close on May 15, TERUMO announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2026 and issued its earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2027. For the current fiscal year, the company forecasts sales of 1,239 billion yen (up 9.5% year-on-year) and a net profit of 165.3 billion yen (up 21.6% year-on-year). The outlook for double-digit profit growth and consecutive record-high profits triggered strong buying. In addition to steady growth in existing operations, price revisions and the absence of prior-year one-time expenses are expected to boost margins. OrganOx, acquired last year, will also contribute to revenue expansion. The annual dividend forecast is 36 yen, up 6 yen from the previous year. For the fiscal year ended March 2026, sales rose 9.2% year-on-year to 1,131.877 billion yen, and net profit grew 16.2% to 135.914 billion yen.

Forecasting sales of 72 billion yen (up 36.7% year-on-year) and an operating profit of 6.5 billion yen (up 22.0% year-on-year), the stock attracted strong buy orders on expectations of robust top- and bottom-line growth.

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, sales rose 18.2% year-on-year to 52.651 billion yen, and operating profit increased 12.3% to 5.326 billion yen.
