Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

LIFULL Co ( (JP:2120) ) just unveiled an update.

LIFULL Co. reported a strong start to its fiscal year ending September 2026, with first-quarter revenue rising 8.3% year on year to ¥6.9 billion and operating profit surging 42.1% to ¥1.1 billion, driven primarily by its core HOME’S Services business. The company improved profitability ahead of the Q2 peak season as both its client network and average revenue per account expanded, supported by nine consecutive quarters of revenue growth and top external rankings for listing freshness and on-site assessment rates.

Management underscored its push into the “real estate × AI” space, launching an interactive AI agent, LIFULL AI, to shift the housing search from simple queries to conversational engagement while internally achieving widespread generative AI adoption that delivered roughly 50,000 hours of productivity gains in six months. LIFULL also highlighted group synergies, with its Kenbiya real estate investment platform posting 18.8% revenue growth after database integration with HOME’S, and outlined enhanced shareholder returns via a new benefit program and early dividend guidance as it targets FY 2028 consolidated revenue of ¥35–40 billion, operating profit of ¥5.5–6.0 billion, and an operating margin above 15%.
