An update from Fixstars ( (JP:3687) ) is now available.

Fixstars reported that second-quarter consolidated net sales and profits significantly exceeded earlier forecasts, driven by robust demand for acceleration services in automotive and semiconductor sectors and steady SaaS growth. Despite higher costs from office relocation and substantial wage increases, revenue growth outpaced expenses, lifting interim earnings per share and underscoring the resilience of its core Solution Business.

On the back of these stronger-than-expected interim results, the company raised its full-year forecasts for net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent, while keeping second-half assumptions intact due to a major client’s policy change. Fixstars also increased its full-year dividend forecast in line with its shareholder return policy, signaling confidence in earnings sustainability and a commitment to maintaining payout and Dividend on Equity targets.
