Japan Stock of the Day | Kabutaro & Friends

On November 11, 2026, the most talked-about Japanese stock online was Foster Electric <6794>.
Background: In its interim results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 announced on the 10th, the company sharply raised its annual dividend forecast from the previously planned 115 yen to 245 yen, which drew buying. Based on the policy of strengthening shareholder returns set out in its Medium-Term Business Plan 2031, it decided to adopt a 110% payout ratio ahead of schedule. The medium-term plan was reportedly drawn up jointly with the activist investor Axiom. First-half operating profit was 3.13 billion yen, down 27.8% year on year, but July-September operating profit was 2.54 billion yen, down only 0.7%, a much smaller decline. Buying gathered from the open, and the stock closed at the daily limit (limit-up) of 3,915 yen, up 700 yen (21.77%), making it the top gainer on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market. It also hit a year-to-date high. Trading volume was 840,200 shares, turnover was about 3.28 billion yen, and market capitalization was 97.9 billion yen.
