VISTA Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Andrew Phillips; hereinafter "the Company"), a member of the Avant Group providing IR consulting services tailored to the positioning of individual companies in the stock market, announced today the launch of "VISTA Square," an IR platform that supports continuous engagement between listed companies and investors, starting May 13, 2026.
■ Background of the Launch: Towards an Era Demanding Advanced IR Activities
Against the backdrop of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's request for PBR improvements and corporate governance reforms, expectations from the capital market for listed companies have never been higher. However, many companies' IR activities remain limited to routine information dissemination, such as financial results briefings and timely disclosures, and they lack mechanisms for continuous dialogue with investors or for grasping real-time interest and evaluation of their own company.
On the other hand, investors also seek access to high-quality information directly linked to investment decisions and opportunities for two-way dialogue with companies. To meet these needs of both companies and investors, the Company developed VISTA Square.
■ Features of VISTA Square
VISTA Square is a platform that enhances IR activities themselves and creates continuous engagement between companies and investors by combining data analysis and two-way communication functions, with sponsored research reports as the starting point for information dissemination.

Investor-Centric Sponsored Research
Leveraging the expertise of analysts from institutional investor backgrounds, we provide reports directly linked to investment decisions, including earnings forecasts, in a sufficiently comprehensive volume. We deliver information that investors truly need, not just a list of facts.
Data Provision for Institutional Investors
We provide earnings forecast data in Excel format. This directly supports investors' model analysis and valuation work, creating a foundation for deeper dialogue.
Real-time Grasp of Investor Behavior and Interests
IR personnel can grasp browsing history, report download numbers, and other data in real-time.
This visualizes "who is interested in what" and supports the strategic advancement of IR activities.
Two-Way Communication Function
Continuously collect feedback from investors through survey and question functions. This provides a mechanism to continuously improve the quality of IR activities, moving from information dissemination to dialogue.
■ Comment from Our Representative Director
Upon the launch of this service, the following comment is from our Representative Director, Andrew Phillips:
"In the Japanese capital market, the sophistication of IR activities is an urgent issue for many listed companies. However, simply disseminating high-quality content is not enough. To truly enhance the ability to engage with investors, it is necessary to understand who is accessing information and how, receive feedback, and continuously deepen relationships. VISTA Square aims to be a platform that creates such a cycle of dialogue, with sponsored research as its entry point."
■ Future Outlook
VISTA Square will continue to expand and evolve into a platform where listed companies and investors can engage in deeper and more continuous dialogue, by continuously increasing the number of supported companies and adding new functions.
We will continue to contribute to the development of Japan's capital market by supporting the transformation of companies' IR activities.
