Wed Sep 2, 2026 1:33 pm JST Catalyst

Open Up Group Inc. <2154> pared afternoon losses after announcing around noon that it entered into a capital and business alliance with PeopleX, a developer of AI-powered HR services. The news drew buying interest on dips.

According to the announcement, Open Up Group has been using PeopleX's conversational AI services - including AI interviews, AI one-on-one sessions, and AI role-play - group-wide since February of fiscal 2026. The company cited PeopleX's technological capabilities, growth potential, and strong operational alignment as rationale for the partnership, noting PeopleX's rapid growth as an HR AI pioneer.

The investment ratio and amount were not disclosed. The company expects the deal to have a minimal impact on earnings for the fiscal year ending June 2027.
