Summary · why it matters

DeNA's first-quarter results for the fiscal year ending March 2027, announced on August 5 under IFRS on a consolidated basis, showed revenue of 37.166 billion yen, down 10.9% year on year; operating profit of 7.411 billion yen, down 46.3%; pre-tax profit of 49.753 billion yen, up 213.5%; and net profit of 33.438 billion yen, up 198.5%. The main reason for the operating profit decline was the reaction to the game app Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, launched in October 2024, which had greatly boosted results in the same quarter a year earlier; revenue in the games business came to 12.12 billion yen, down 33.2%, and segment profit was just 3.826 billion yen, down 62.0%. Net profit, meanwhile, grew sharply because the taxi-hailing app GO, an equity-method affiliate, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. In addition to selling part of its stake, DeNA revalued its remaining holding at fair value, booking 39.517 billion yen in equity-method investment gains and losses, bringing equity-method investment profit to 40.571 billion yen. By business, the sports and smart city segment performed strongly with revenue of 13.216 billion yen, up 16.0% year on year, and segment profit of 4.551 billion yen, up 24.4%, surpassing the games business's segment profit of 3.826 billion yen and driving first-quarter earnings. The company also announced on August 24 the details of its shareholder benefits for the fiscal year ending March 2027, with a record date of September 30, adding a THE LIVE CENTRAL BAR digital drink coupon to the five types of benefits based on the number of shares held.

Tesla's Cybercab Faces NHTSA Probe Over Missing Steering Wheel and Pedals

Tesla's new Cybercab robotaxi has drawn a federal probe from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after hitting American roads for the first time earlier this month. The two-seat vehicle has no steering column, gas or brake pedals, and no LiDAR or radar sensors, relying only on cameras and AI, and it also lacks standard rear-view and side mirrors. A first fleet of 45 Cybercabs began operating in Austin, Texas, after a September 4 kickoff, and the NHTSA is now investigating whether the model meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards covering controls, displays, braking and acceleration. The agency said it fully supports safe development of automated vehicles but must ensure all laws are followed, and it is examining how much Tesla's self-certification depended on determinations that certain standards are inapplicable to the Cybercab. Tesla has until September 30 to demonstrate under oath how the model adheres to federal standards essential to its legal sale and commercial use in the U.S., and it could face steep fines, enforced quality monitoring or design directives if the vehicle falls short.

Ferrovial-Led Consortium Wins $9.2B I-24 Choice Lanes Project in Tennessee

Ferrovial announced on August 19 that it has been selected to deliver the I-24 Southeast Choice Lanes, a 26-mile project running between Nashville and Murfreesboro, at a price tag of $9.2 billion. The project is the largest single capital investment in Tennessee's history and the state's first public-private partnership, and Ferrovial is not carrying it alone, since its DriveTN consortium also counts Transurban and Tikehau Star Infra as partners. Ferrovial's July 28 results showed adjusted EBITDA up 21.6% on a like-for-like basis to €746 million over the first six months of the year, with U.S. highways doing most of the lifting, and the construction order book reached an all-time high of €18 billion. Net profit for the first half of 2026 came in at €258 million, versus €540 million for the same period of 2025, a comparison made harsh by capital gains from asset rotation in the earlier figure. Ferrovial ended the first half with €1.3 billion in net cash, excluding infrastructure projects, and has finished funding the $1.1 billion in equity it pledged for New Terminal One at JFK, where construction is 92% complete.
