MATSUMOTO ranks 5th in 'rising buy forecasts' on Minkabu individual investor poll

Fri Oct 2, 2026 2:09 pm JST Catalyst

As of 2:00 p.m. on Oct. 2, MATSUMOTO INC. <7901> ranked fifth in the "Rising Buy Forecasts" category of the "Retail Investor Forecasts (Latest 48 Hours)" compiled by Minkabu.

The continued rise in buy forecasts appears driven by the company's announcement after the close on Sept. 30 that it will begin pilot implementation of "Muneshige-kun" - an AI-powered career development support tool recording and visualizing student work experiences and daily growth - at high schools and other institutions in October.

"Muneshige-kun" is a web application that allows students to log daily work experiences, insights, challenges, and setbacks via text and images using smartphones or computers, leveraging AI to facilitate reflection and visualize personal growth. The initiative is a core business in the company's education unit under its "Next-Generation DAT Vision," with MATSUMOTO aiming to build an educational platform to accumulate and visualize intangible values such as individual experiences and growth as digital assets, connecting them to career development and spurring medium-term growth expectations.
