TOKYO, Mar 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Ridge-i Inc. (5572.T) revised its fiscal year 2026 earnings outlook, raising its operating profit forecast by 30.2%.
Previously, the company projected an operating profit of ¥2 billion for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026; now, it expects ¥2.08 billion. The revision reflects increased demand for AI-related consulting and development services, leading to larger and longer-term projects from existing clients and the initiation of a project with SBI Holdings Co., Ltd. These factors contributed to higher gross margins and improved employee utilization rates, driving up operating profits significantly beyond initial expectations.
Additionally, while digital marketing revenues are expected to decline, custom AI solution sales are anticipated to rise due to orders from the SBI Group, as detailed in today's separate disclosure. As a result, overall revenue forecasts remain unchanged from the previous estimate of ¥14.89 billion. Looking ahead, Ridge-i plans to accelerate the acquisition of generative AI projects and expand satellite operations to further boost performance.
Note: Actual results may differ from projections due to various future uncertainties.
