TOKYO, Jun 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Ridge-i Inc. (5572.T) revised its fiscal 2026 earnings forecast, projecting higher sales and profits driven by increased demand for AI-related consulting and development services.
The company now anticipates revenue of ¥2.900 billion, operating profit of ¥500 million, ordinary profit of ¥500 million, and net income attributable to parent shareholders of ¥370 million for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026. This represents increases of 3.6%, 44.9%, 44.9%, and 76.2%, respectively, compared to previous estimates. The revision reflects robust client orders, particularly from existing customers and a significant contract with SBI Holdings Co., Ltd.
Additionally, improved gross margins and operational efficiencies contributed to stronger-than-expected performance in the custom AI solutions sector. Ridge-i also expects a special gain of ¥79 million from the sale of its subsidiary Star Music Entertainment's shares to SBI Holdings, contingent upon approval at the upcoming annual shareholder meeting scheduled for July 15, 2026. Looking ahead, Ridge-i plans to accelerate growth through continued acquisition of generative AI projects and expansion of satellite services.
However, the final amount of the disposal gain could vary based on future transaction procedures and Star Music Entertainment’s financial results up to July 16, 2026.
