About Pulse News Wire

The Information Gap

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 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 AI-powered pipeline monitors TDNet 24/5, downloads new filings as they appear, extracts the content, translates it into clear English, and publishes it within minutes. No more waiting for morning summaries.

Who It's For

Pulse News Wire is built for institutional investors who need timely access to Japanese corporate actions:

• Hedge funds. Trade on earnings surprises, buyback announcements, and M&A disclosures before the market digests them.
• Asset managers. Stay informed on portfolio holdings across Japan's 4,400+ listed companies.
• Research analysts. Access primary-source disclosures without a Japanese-reading team.
• Multi-strategy firms. Monitor governance changes, dividend policies, and corporate actions at scale.

What We Cover

Every disclosure published to TDNet, including:

• Earnings reports and forecasts
• Share buyback announcements and progress
• Dividend declarations and revisions
• Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures
• Board and officer changes
• Corporate actions (splits, name changes)
• Real estate transactions
• Equity issuances and financing

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.

How the Translation Works

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.
