Three key points to focus on in the morning session
Exceeding financial estimates for large US tech stocks is a supportive factor.

● $Chubu Electric Power (9502.JP)$ In the second quarter, operating profit decreased by 41.9% to 142.7 billion yen, with the ordinary profit for 25/3 being revised upwards. It surpasses the consensus (around 123 billion yen). The performance for the fiscal year ending March 2025 has been revised upward from 215 billion yen to 275 billion yen in ordinary profit.

Active stocks, hot stocks
The US stock market on the previous day, the 29th, had mixed performance. Selling pressure ahead of concerns about labor market cooling and economic slowdown intensified as job openings in the September Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) decreased more than expected. Today, buying prevailed on the Tokyo stock market. The announcement of earnings reports for major domestic companies for the April-September period is in full swing, increasing appetite for high-performing stocks and lending support to stock prices. The yen is trading around 153.20 yen to the dollar. In terms of sectors, electric & gas, chemicals, metal products, electric appliances, glass & ceramics products were among the top gainers, while securities, commodity futures, rubber products, air transportation, marine transportation, and other products were among the top decliners.

$Shikoku Electric Power (9507.JP)$Rising significantly for the third consecutive day. Following the consolidated earnings report for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2025 (April-September) released after the closing of trading on the 29th, the full-year performance forecast was revised. The expected final profit for this fiscal year has been increased by 18.5 billion yen to 545 billion yen (a decrease of 9.9% compared to the previous period), leading to positive buy sentiment.

$Lasertec (6920.JP)$ and $Disco (6146.JP)$Semiconductor-related stocks such as DISCO are rising. DISCO surged in massive trading volumes, driven by strong demand for AI semiconductor equipment, sparking a reevaluation in buying sentiment. Furthermore, the high ratio of tech stocks in the U.S. stock market yesterday, where the NASDAQ Composite Index and the Semiconductor Index (SOX Index) rose, became a supportive factor for export-related and semiconductor-related stocks in the Tokyo market.
