JAPAN LIFELINE CO.

Japan Lifeline posted sales of JPY 59.18 billion in Q4 2026 (+4.6% yoy), beating expectations by 1.51%; earnings per share were JPY 133.30.

Competition from new technologies such as pulsed-field ablation and margin pressure weigh on the outlook, after which the stock fell 9.85% to JPY 1,401.
