Capcom surged to its daily limit up after reporting a 54% increase in revenue and a 66% jump in operating profit for the first quarter, achieving substantial top- and bottom-line growth. Tsuburaya Fields Holdings hit its daily limit up for a second straight day, driven by upward revisions to its full-year consolidated earnings forecast and medium-term management plan. Alphapolis rose for a third consecutive day after announcing the launch of English-translated print editions of its official manga in North America and other regions. On the other hand, Megachips fell for a fifth straight day, as Mizuho Securities maintained a neutral rating on the stock despite raising its target price.
