Where to start
Chosen from this company's lowest answers, easiest first. A quick fix uses material the company already has; a translation fix is usually met by translating a Japanese document (our note says whether this company has one). Questions that need a budget or a board decision are left out. Suggestions drawn from the research, separate from the scores.

English disclosure assessment
All 34 questions reviewed by the editor against the public documents; this is not an independent audit. 2 answers corrected after re-checks (research errors) and 8 changed under rule changes on 21 Oct 2026. These are changes to our record, not to the company’s disclosure. Changes to this record →
Compared with peers
| Peer group | Median | This company |
|---|---|---|
| Same sector (Machinery) | 76.4 | 35 of 39 |
| Same size band (Under ¥100bn) | 51.4 | 20 of 25 |
Compared with the companies covered here, not the whole market. Sector is the TSE 33-sector classification; market cap is from kabutan.jp, 19 Oct 2026; it only sets the size band, plays no part in the score, and is refreshed once a quarter. Ties share the higher rank.
Out of 100.
Of the 34 questions reviewed, 9 scored 3 or more and 17 found no qualifying English materials within the stated review scope. Read each score with its source and scope below.
Findings by question
F1Quarterly and full-year results summaries (tanshin) published in English2/5
F2English results summary is a full translation, not an excerpt3/5
The English Q1 FY3/2027 tanshin (8 pages, 'translated from a part of the Japanese original') carries the summary pages and the balance sheet, income and comprehensive income statements and cash flows; the Japanese (12 pages) adds the qualitative review and the notes. Re-checked 21 Oct 2026; the September record said the located tanshin was Japanese-only, but the English Q1 FY3/2027 tanshin (posted 7 Aug 2026) was on the IR page. The qualitative review and the notes are cut, so 3. Source document →
F3Financial statements including notes available in English3/5
The English Q1 FY3/2027 tanshin gives the quarterly consolidated balance sheet, statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows, without notes. Re-checked 21 Oct 2026; the September record said the located tanshin was Japanese-only, but the English Q1 FY3/2027 tanshin (posted 7 Aug 2026) was on the IR page. Statements without notes, so 3. Source document →
F4Annual securities report available in English in any form0/5
yuken.co.jp/en/sitemap (the authoritative English site map) lists no IR section at all -- no annual securities report, and no IR content of any kind. Checked via browser 21 Sep 2026.
F5Segment revenue and profit disclosed in English, consistent definitions0/5
Same absence: yuken.co.jp/en/sitemap has no IR section, so no segment data is published in English.
F6Multi-year financial data file (Excel or CSV) downloadable in English0/5
Same absence rules out any downloadable multi-year data file in English.
F7Guidance disclosed in English with the basis explained0/5
Same absence rules out any English guidance disclosure.
F8English financial disclosure current to the latest Japanese filing period2/5
S1Medium-term management plan in English with numerical targets0/5
yuken.co.jp/en/sitemap confirms the real English site (About YUKEN, Business, Network, Product Introduction, News Releases, Technical Contents, Contact Us) has no IR section and therefore no medium-term plan. Checked via browser 21 Sep 2026.
S2IR presentations published in English0/5
Same absence rules out IR presentation materials in English.
S3English equity-story or investment-highlights page2/5
The English site (machine-translated, with an 'About AI Translation' notice) has a President's Message and Company Profile: founded 1956, hydraulics since 1929, a group network in Asia, Europe and North America, and one line on the company's strength as a specialised manufacturer responding flexibly to customers. No figures. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English material counts wherever it sits on the company's site. A generic corporate introduction, so 2. Source document →
S4Growth drivers identified and quantified in English3/5
The English President's Message names the growth strategy: India as an important base (support for the Indian subsidiary, production capacity and quality) and factory modernisation in Japan as the group's command centre. No numbers. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English material counts wherever it sits on the company's site. Named, qualitative only, so 3. Source document →
S5Results-briefing transcripts or Q&A published in English0/5
Same absence rules out results-briefing transcripts/Q&A; the video briefings found (yuken.co.jp/ir_news) are titled in Japanese only.
S6Integrated or annual report available in English0/5
The 82nd Term Report ('第82期報告書') listed on yuken.co.jp's homepage news feed on 21 Sep 2026 carries a Japanese-only title, unlike the quarterly tanshin which is explicitly labelled '英文決算短信' (English-version). No English annual/term report found.
S7Progress against the previous plan, including misses, explained in English0/5
No medium-term plan exists (S1 not_found), so no page can discuss progress against one.
G1Corporate governance report available in English0/5
yuken.co.jp/en/governance links a 'コーポレートガバナンス報告書' (Corporate Governance Report) by its Japanese title only on 21 Sep 2026; no English version found.
G2Director biographies in English with tenure, expertise and independence2/5
The English Company Profile lists all eight directors (two marked Non-Executive) and three Audit & Supervisory Board members with their titles; there are no biographies, tenure or independence statements in English. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English material counts wherever it sits on the company's site. Names and titles only, so 2. Source document →
G3Board skills matrix published in English0/5
No board skills matrix found on yuken.co.jp/en/governance on 21 Sep 2026.
G4Executive remuneration structure and its performance linkage explained in English0/5
yuken.co.jp/en/governance links '取締役の報酬等に関する方針' (remuneration policy) by its Japanese title only on 21 Sep 2026; no English version found (FM2).
G5AGM notice in English with sufficient lead time to vote0/5
yuken.co.jp/ir/stockholder (linked from the /en/ir/index page's own nav, itself entirely Japanese) lists AGM convocation and resolution notices for the 79th-82nd meetings, all titled and presumably written in Japanese only. Checked via browser 21 Sep 2026.
G6Shareholder vote results disclosed in English0/5
Same page: '第82回定時株主総会決議ご通知' (Notice of Resolutions) is Japanese-only, confirmed directly (this reverses an earlier, incorrect assessment that had scored this present in English). Checked via browser 21 Sep 2026.
G7Cross-shareholdings in English with reduction schedule and rationale0/5
yuken.co.jp/en/governance links '政策保有に関する基本方針' (cross-shareholding policy) by its Japanese title only on 21 Sep 2026; no English version found (FM2).
O1English IR section reachable within two clicks of the English homepage2/5
Yuken has an English corporate site but no English IR section; its one English IR document, the Q1 FY3/2027 tanshin, is linked from the Japanese IR page. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English documents linked only from Japanese pages score 2 here. So 2. Source document →
O2English document links resolve to English documents5/5
The only English IR document link, the Q1 FY3/2027 tanshin on the Japanese IR page, opens an English PDF. All English links were checked; there are fewer than ten. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English material counts wherever it sits on the company's site. So 5. Source document →
O3English IR archive free of dead links5/5
The one English IR document link resolves. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English material counts wherever it sits on the company's site. No dead links, so 5. Source document →
O4English IR pages render without blank JavaScript failures0/5
There are no English IR web pages to render: the one English IR document is a PDF linked from a Japanese page, which renders normally. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English documents linked only from Japanese pages are recorded here as not found. Re-checked 21 Oct 2026.
O5Single page listing all English IR documents by date and type4/5
The English tanshin is listed, dated, in the Japanese IR news list, which is untyped. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English material counts wherever it sits on the company's site. One dated list, untyped, so 4. Source document →
O6English archive genuinely populated, not an unverifiable shell3/5
The English archive holds the current item only: the Q1 FY3/2027 tanshin. The FY3/2026 tanshin and earlier periods have no English version. Under v1.1.1 (21 Oct 2026), English material counts wherever it sits on the company's site. Current items only, so 3. Source document →
R1Earnings materials published in English simultaneously with Japanese3/5
The only English tanshin, Q1 FY3/27 (8 pages against 12, 'translated from a part'), was posted 7 Aug 2026, the same day as the Japanese. The FY3/26 tanshin (JA 15 May 2026) never appeared in English, and the Japanese side's results decks and video have no English counterpart. A full English that never comes is 3. Source document →
R2Median lag in days between Japanese and English statutory publication1/5
Q1 FY3/27 tanshin 7 Aug / 7 Aug = 0; FY3/26 tanshin (JA 15 May), AGM notice, Corporate Governance Report and Annual Securities Report have no English (>90 each). Median over 90 days, so 1. Source document →
R3Timely disclosures published in English0/5
No English timely disclosures. The English site (yuken.co.jp/en/) has no IR section or news; the only English IR document is the Q1 FY3/27 tanshin, posted on the Japanese IR page. The Japanese side made 15 disclosures between Nov 2025 and Oct 2026 (kabutan.jp company disclosure list). Checked via browser 19 Oct 2026.
R4English disclosure free of machine-translation accuracy disclaimers3/5
Every English HTML page opens an 'About AI Translation' pop-up: 'The following pages have been translated by machine. Please note that the translated content may not always be accurate.' The English tanshin is not presented as machine-translated. Site-wide MT pop-up on HTML pages, documents unaffected, so 3. Source document →
R5English version stated as authoritative, not subordinate to Japanese1/5
The one English IR document, the Q1 FY3/27 tanshin, says 'the original shall prevail'. Disclaimed on every English document there is, so 1. Source document →
