Japan Stock of the Day | Kabutaro & Friends

On October 14, 2026, the most talked-about Japanese stock online was Riso Kyoiku Group <4714>.
Background: On October 13, major real estate company Hulic, which owns 50.87% of the company that runs the TOMAS individual tutoring schools, announced that it will buy the remaining shares through a tender offer and make it a wholly owned subsidiary. The offer price is 295 yen per share, a 37.2% premium to the previous close. The offer runs from October 14 to November 26, and the shares are expected to be delisted if it succeeds. Riso Kyoiku Group's board resolved to support the offer and recommend that shareholders tender, and the second-largest shareholder, the Sundai Gakuen educational corporation, agreed to tender all of its 6.05% stake. Hulic said it will accelerate collaboration with Tetsuryokukai and nationwide expansion through video lessons, among other initiatives. On October 14, the stock hit its daily limit and closed up 80 yen (+37.21%) at 295 yen, converging on the offer price and making it the top gainer on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market.
