Japan Stock of the Day | Kabutaro & Friends

On October 19, 2026, the most talked-about Japanese stock online was Retty <7356>.
Background: Retty, which runs the restaurant review site "Retty" and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market, hit its daily limit and closed up 50 yen (+45.45%) from the end of the previous week at 160 yen, the top gainer in the entire market. The catalyst was Prime Minister Takaichi's remark at the House of Councillors Budget Committee on the 16th that the government would consider "Go To Eat" and premium gift certificates as support for the restaurant industry, which would be affected by a consumption tax cut on food. On expectations that stimulating dining-out demand would increase use of restaurant search and reservation services, peer Gurunavi <2440> rose as high as 164 yen at one point, up 18.42%, and Retty was bought in tandem. Volume swelled to 7,182,400 shares and trading value to about 1.09 billion yen. A small-cap stock with a market capitalization of about 2.4 billion yen, it was bought up to the full daily price limit.
