Serverworks Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4434) ) has issued an update.

Serverworks has revised the numerical targets in its mid-term management policy for the fiscal years ending February 2026 to February 2028, updating FY02/2027 guidance to align with its latest internal plans and business conditions. While net sales and profits remain broadly in line with earlier goals, the company now expects lower gross profit than initially targeted as it recalibrates its strategy.

Management is positioning FY02/2027 as a preparatory phase for “dramatic growth” driven by AI, prioritizing the acquisition of large enterprise resale projects via strategic agreements with AWS even at the cost of near-term margin compression. Serverworks plans to offset the resulting decline in gross profit margins by tightening SG&A expenses and leveraging its own AI tools to improve efficiency, aiming to preserve its targeted ordinary profit margin while building a dominant position in cloud infrastructure that will underpin future AI demand.
