Thu Oct 1, 2026 2:13 pm JST Catalyst

As of 2:00 p.m. on Oct 1, MATSUMOTO INC. <7901> topped the rising buy forecasts ranking in Minkabu's Retail Investor Forecasts (Latest 48 Hours) tally.

After market close on Sep 30, MATSUMOTO announced it will begin a pilot introduction of Muneshige-kun, an AI-powered career development support tool that records and visualizes each student's work experience and daily growth process, at high schools and other institutions in Oct. Muneshige-kun is a web application that encourages students to reflect on experiences and visualize growth by recording daily work experiences, insights, challenges, and failures through text and images via smartphones or computers, with AI used to facilitate reflection and progress tracking. The initiative is described as a core business in the educational sector under MATSUMOTO's Next-Generation DAT Vision, with a long-term goal of building a new educational platform that accumulates and visualizes intangible values such as personal experiences and growth as digital assets, linking them to career path selection and career development.

Following the announcement, MATSUMOTO shares surged to the daily limit-up price of 968 yen on Oct 1. Buying interest continued since, appearing to drive the rise in buy forecast numbers.
