Asunaro Investment Advisors (headquartered in Minato, Tokyo and led by CEO Yasushi Oishi) has released an analysis of the performance of its premium service, "One-off Spot Stocks®" for the first quarter of 2026, covering the period from January 5 to March 31. This announcement aims to enhance transparency in investment advisory services and provide sincere information to users.

Throughout this challenging market environment, characterized by significant fluctuations in the Nikkei index, all 31 One-off Spot Stocks during the specified period managed to outperform major indices in terms of price fluctuations.

Summary of One-off Spot Stocks® Concept

Every stock investor dreams of holding a ten-bagger or even stocks that could grow 100 or 200 times their initial value. The One-off Spot Stocks® service from Asunaro Investment Advisors aims to support investors in their quest by analyzing market trends and focusing on individual stocks expected to grow within a specific timeframe.

The selection of stocks in this service involves a comprehensive evaluation, considering not only fundamental analysis of companies but also supply-demand balance and the themes present in the market. Our expert analysts employ various analytical methods such as "Parallel Cross Logic," "Muso Wave Analysis," and "Dai-Bake Method" to rigorously select stocks. Each recommended stock report includes target stock prices, buying price ranges, selling price ranges, re-entry points, and additional buying points, aiming to assist in investment decision-making. Notably, One-off Spot Stocks® has garnered substantial interest, as indicated by responses in customer surveys.

Q1 2026 Overview of Performance

During the first quarter of 2026 (January 5 to March 31), the performance of the One-off Spot Stocks showed the following results:

• - Total number of stocks: 31
• - Winning position (first profit target reached): 15 wins, 16 losses
• - Winning rate: 48.4%
• - Average maximum price fluctuation rate: +26.67%
• - Average minimum price fluctuation rate: -18.75%
• - Current price fluctuation rate: +6.4%
• - Number of loss-cut stocks: 2

The overall winning rate for the total of 31 stocks provided during this quarter was approximately 50%. Despite the general downtrend in the market, these stocks maintained a positive fluctuation rate of around 6%. The average maximum price fluctuation rate stood at 26.67%, surpassing both the Nikkei index's performance of 25.07% and TOPIX's 14.21% during the same period. It is evident that even amid significant market volatility, we effectively identified profitable opportunities at the right time.

Performance by Market Segmentation

The performance of selected stocks across various markets is as follows:

• - TSE Growth (5 stocks): +29.21%
• - TSE Standard (10 stocks): +30.00%
• - TSE Prime (16 stocks): +23.79%

Notably, during the quarter, stocks chosen for the Growth market showcased high volatility, resulting in exceptional performance compared to the Growth 250 Index's maximum price fluctuation rate of 25.20%. Specifically, our growth stocks (5 stocks) averaged +29.21%, achieving positive outperformance against the index.

Market Index Comparison

The following comparison presents the average price fluctuation rates between our stocks and significant market indices during the same period:

• - Asunaro Spot Stocks: +26.67% (Current: +6.40%)
• - Growth 250 Index: +25.20% (Current: +16.82%)
• - Standard Index: +14.00% (Current: +7.80%)
• - TOPIX: +14.21% (Current: +12.04%)
• - Nikkei 225: +25.07% (Current: +20.39%)

Our Standard market stocks (10 stocks) also significantly outperformed the market index, with a maximum price fluctuation rate of 30.00% against a Standard Index of only 14.00%. The emergence of stocks with up to 133.77% maximum price fluctuation further illustrates the competitive advantage of our stock selection even in challenging market conditions.

Summary and Future Outlook

In CEO Oishi's comments, he reflects that Q1 2026 was particularly challenging with a lack of clear market direction, leading to intensified selection of individual stocks. Consequently, while the current price performance fell below indices, it was confirmed that we were able to provide superior performance in terms of maximum price fluctuations. This quarter’s ability to outperform by approximately 4% in the growth market underlines our strength in identifying stocks aimed at short-term price movements.

As we move forward, we remain committed to capturing market distortions and the growth potential of individual companies and continue our efforts to provide information with a competitive edge.

In the fast-changing market, we believe that leveraging our large-cap advisory service "Asunaro Prime Members" alongside our growth stock-focused "One-off Spot Stocks®" service can be effective strategies for navigating the market.

Reminder on Past Administrative Sanctions

Despite ongoing rumors about past administrative actions, we would like to reaffirm that all improvements related to such sanctions have been fully addressed and resolved.

In June 2024, a former employee engaged in a breach of loyalty by presenting stock recommendations to two clients without company authorization. As a result, we received a two-month suspension and an operational improvement order. It’s crucial to clarify that the company itself had no involvement in these actions, and allegations of extraordinary benefits, misleading advertisements, or fraudulent activities were confirmed to be invalid.

We remain dedicated to transparency, continuing to communicate our compliance and governance practices to build trust and provide users with reliable services.
