TOKYO, Jul 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Progress Technologies Group,inc. (339A.T) reported flat first quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of ¥1.2 billion compared to the same period last year.

Despite a slight decline in solution project acceptance due to delayed customer budgeting and review processes, the company maintains steady demand for digital transformation services.
