Japan is the world's third-largest stock market. Every day, hundreds of companies file material corporate disclosures on TDNet — Japan's official disclosure network. Most are in Japanese only.
JPX now requires Prime Market companies to publish English disclosures. But 2,300+ Standard and Growth Market companies have no such requirement — and virtually none publish in English. That means material earnings revisions, M&A announcements, dividend changes, and governance events at thousands of JPX-listed companies are invisible to foreign investors.
Pulse News Wire exists to close that gap.
Pulse News Wire was built in Vancouver, BC. The gap was simple to identify: Japan is one of the world's most active corporate disclosure environments, and virtually none of it reached English-speaking investors in usable form. We built the infrastructure to close that gap — not editorially, but systematically. Every disclosure, every company, every trading day.
Pulse News Wire is a financial intelligence service that translates Japanese corporate disclosures from TDNet, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's official disclosure system, into English in real time.
Our automated pipeline monitors TDNet 24/5, downloads new filings as they appear, extracts the content, translates it into clear English, and publishes it within minutes. Translations publish within minutes of the original TDNet filing.
Pulse News Wire is built for institutional investors who need timely access to Japanese corporate actions:
Every disclosure published to TDNet, including:
Coverage spans Tokyo Stock Exchange (Prime, Standard, and Growth markets), plus regional exchanges including Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Sapporo. Instrument types include common stocks, ETFs, REITs, and structured products.
Every number in a Pulse News Wire article was extracted deterministically — never generated by AI. Financial figures, percentages, and dates are parsed directly from the source document using structured extraction rules. The AI model handles prose only.
Every article is gated by a quality score before publication. Articles scoring below the threshold are held for review rather than published with errors. The original TDNet PDF is archived permanently. TDNet's own public access expires after 31 days.
Financial figures are protected by a pre-translation masking protocol that replaces all numbers with unique tokens before the AI model processes the text. The original values are restored deterministically after translation. This means the AI never touches a financial figure. It cannot hallucinate a revenue number, an EPS figure, or a percentage change. The translated article inherits the source document's numerical precision exactly.
Bloomberg Terminal and Refinitiv cover Japan's largest listed companies well. The Standard and Growth Market companies, the 2,300+ that have no English disclosure requirement, receive little or no coverage from wire services. Pulse News Wire was built specifically for this uncovered tier. The filings that no one else translates are often the ones that move first.
