Issuer financials

What the company reports, next to what the desk trades. Statements come from Yahoo Finance and are printed in the currency the issuer reports in.

Statements are in JPY, the currency this issuer reports in. The perp price at the top of this page is in USDC on trade.xyz. Two different bases: nothing below is re-priced into the other one, and where this page does convert a figure, the rate and the day it was read stand beside it.

From revenue to profit

The income statement for the latest annual period, ending 2026-03-31. This is not a split by product or by region: the source publishes no segment or geography breakdown, and neither does this page.

Margins

Margin per period is computed here from two published lines: gross profit over revenue, operating income over revenue, net income over revenue. The source publishes only trailing twelve-month ratios, which are in the table below. A period with no revenue gets no point.

Analyst price targets

Where the analysts polled above see the price of the security going. Their numbers, not the desk's, and the desk neither weights them nor trades them.

MeasureAs publishedIn USD
Average¥7,954$49.92
Median¥8,100$50.84
Lowest¥3,140$19.71
Highest¥11,100$69.67

Targets are in JPY, the currency the security is quoted in. That is the source's own answer, not a guess from the ticker's country: the price the source prints beside the targets matches the quote, and that is what fixes their base. The dollar column is a conversion, at 1 JPY = 0.006276 USD. The rate was read 2026-08-13 from yahoo finance (cli quote). It is a measurement of its own age, not a property of the target beside it.

The date is confirmed by the source, not estimated. Date read from yahoo finance (cli). The two transports disagree by a day on purpose: one answers in exchange-local time, the other in UTC, so the date and its flag always travel together from the same answer.
