Active stocks on the 8th (closing) - ONO SOKKI, HODL 1, TORIDOLL and others

ONO SOKKI Co.,Ltd. <6858> shares rose sharply for a fourth consecutive session on Monday. While the broader market faced heavy risk-averse selling centered on large-cap AI and semiconductor stocks, small- and mid-cap shares with strong earnings detached from AI-related sectors attracted persistent buying on valuation turnarounds. ONO SOKKI boasts a solid track record in electronic measuring instruments and is a leading niche player with advanced technologies for vibration and noise reduction. Earnings remain robust, with operating profit for the fiscal year ending December 2026 projected to reach 11.00 billion yen, up 87.0% year-on-year, following a 4.1-fold increase in the fiscal year ended December 2025. The cash-rich firm is also actively investing in R&D. With its price-to-book ratio (PBR) in the 0.5x range highlighting clear undervaluation alongside a proactive dividend policy, the high-growth, undervalued niche leader is drawing buying interest as a suitable hedge in the current volatile market.

HODL 1,inc. <2345> shares surged in afternoon trading on Monday. Around 1:00 p.m., HODL 1,inc. announced it signed a basic business alliance agreement with Singapore-based Web3 tech firm Startale Group, backed by SBI Holdings, Inc. <8473> and SONY GROUP CORPORATION <6758>, fueling buying interest. Under the agreement, the two firms will explore cooperation in blockchain product development, intellectual property (IP) projects, Japanese yen stablecoins, and related business development, alongside customer acquisition and use-case creation. HODL 1,inc. noted that the impact on its earnings would be minimal at this time.

TORIDOLL Holdings Corporation <3397> shares rebounded on Monday for the first time in four sessions. While investment funds that had flowed into Prime Market AI and semiconductor stocks reversed course, sending the Nikkei Stock Average sharply lower, beaten-down domestic consumer retail and restaurant shares saw a rotation of funds, boosting TORIDOLL. Marugame Udon Meshi, launched in early April, has been well received, raising expectations for its mid-term earnings contribution. Although the menu features a carbohydrate-heavy combination of udon and rice, it has successfully tapped into new consumer demand. The savory aroma captured consumer needs, earning it a reputation as a guilty-pleasure dish, with reports indicating sales reached 0.20 million servings within six days of launch. This high-impact menu has drawn renewed market attention, serving as a catalyst to lift the stock from its recent lows.

JINS HOLDINGS Inc. <3046> shares accelerated their upward momentum on Monday, surging over 10.00% at one point to hit a fresh year-to-date high, bringing the key 9,000.00 yen level within reach. Same-store sales for May, disclosed after Friday's close, jumped 17.20% year-on-year, while total sales surged 26.40% year-on-year. While JINS HOLDINGS' monthly sales for the current fiscal year since September 2025 remain robust, the acceleration in May following strong April growth drew intense market attention. Performance was lifted by two additional holidays compared to the previous year and effective promotional initiatives that successfully captured robust inbound and seasonal demand. While this fueled near-term buying interest, a steady reduction in margin buying balances has also eased upside resistance on the supply-demand front.

NAKAMURA CHOUKOU CO., LTD. <6166> shares hit their daily limit up for consecutive sessions on Monday. The company's consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2026, announced May 14, showed an operating loss of 163.00 million yen, with an operating loss of 160.00 million yen projected for the current fiscal year. Recurring losses are expected for a fourth consecutive year, which had sent the stock plunging to a low of 435.00 yen on June 3 following the earnings release. While NAKAMURA CHOUKOU plans to expand mass production of nozzles for new material mounting machines and promote sales of semiconductor suction collets this fiscal year, market attention has shifted to its nano-sized zeolite, expected to see growth in applications like rare earth recovery. Speculation has emerged among some investors regarding upcoming disclosures due to a "Coming Soon" notice on the homepage of its subsidiary, Zeo Next. This has reportedly attracted short-term speculative money chasing price movements, sustaining buying pressure on Monday.
