KLab Inc.

KLab announced its cumulative second-quarter results for the fiscal year ending December 2026, with revenue of 4.969 billion yen, up 57.2 percent year-on-year, and an operating profit of 39 million yen, swinging into the black. The new title Dragon Quest Smash Glow, released on April 21, got off to a smooth start and contributed significantly to earnings, while Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team also maintained strong performance. The new GPU server sales business also made progress. The full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged at 17 billion yen in revenue and 1 billion yen in operating profit.

On the Tokyo stock market on August 5, among 96 game and entertainment-related stocks, 53 rose, 39 fell, and 4 were unchanged. KLab extended its winning streak to six days ahead of the official launch of the new game My Hero Academia: United Survival tomorrow, August 6. Meanwhile, Takara Tomy fell back after three days of gains, pressured by selling on the view that near-term positive catalysts had run their course, even though its first-quarter results showed higher revenue and profit thanks to strong sales of products targeting the Kidults demographic. Silicon Studio was bid up to its daily limit high as a play on physical AI.

On August 3, the Tokyo stock market saw MIXI rebound sharply for the first time in three days, hitting its daily limit up. The company's first-quarter results, released the previous weekend, showed a significant rise in revenue and profit, with the booking of a special gain from the sale of Bitbank shares and an upward revision to the year-end dividend forecast drawing praise. Marvelous, which also reported a 327.9 percent year-on-year jump in first-quarter operating profit, was also bought. KLab extended its winning streak to four days after announcing that the official launch date for its new mobile game app, My Hero Academia United Survival, has been set for August 6.

KLab surged in afternoon trading. The company announced after the morning close that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with an overseas defense firm possessing advanced RF technology to promote the introduction of an anti-drone defense system in the UAE, which served as a catalyst for the stock price.
