How to use JSIGNAL — AI-summarized EDINET disclosures for Japanese equities, in Japanese and English. For how the AI works, see the AI explanation page.
Coverage (EDINET-focused)
JSIGNAL focuses on filings from EDINET (Japan's statutory disclosure system, run by the FSA): annual & quarterly securities reports, extraordinary reports, large-shareholding (5%) reports and tender offers (TOB) — the substantive, hard-to-read statutory filings, summarized in JA/EN by AI. Note: TDNET timely disclosures (e.g., earnings flash / kessan tanshin) are NOT included.
JSIGNAL focuses on filings from EDINET (Japan's statutory disclosure system, run by the FSA): annual & quarterly securities reports, extraordinary reports, large-shareholding (5%) reports and tender offers (TOB) — the substantive, hard-to-read statutory filings, summarized in JA/EN by AI. Note: TDNET timely disclosures (e.g., earnings flash / kessan tanshin) are NOT included.
Why statutory filings: Annual securities reports carry the detailed business, risk and capital-policy disclosures that let AI produce precise analysis. Earnings flashes (tanshin) are already summaries — less suited to deep analysis. For investment decisions, precision matters more than real-time speed. JSIGNAL prioritizes depth and accuracy over breaking news.

3. Report AI Screener
The core list of disclosures (formerly "Disclosures" + "AI Screener", now unified). Browse everything chronologically and filter to find investment signals:
- Keyword (company / title) and summary keyword (searches the AI summary text)

Example: filter by signal tag “Buyback” + growth score 6+ to find companies announcing buybacks with solid growth.
4. Reading the badges
- Positive / Neutral / Negative — AI sentiment of the disclosure.
- Risk — risk factors extracted; tooltip shows count and average severity (0-10).
- 📈 Growth 7/10 — AI growth score (0-10); tooltip shows the outlook.
- Signal tag — event type (earnings, buyback, M&A, guidance up/down, etc.).
- Growth driver — growth driver type (volume, pricing, new product, capacity, etc.).
All scores and tags are AI estimates — informational only, not investment advice. Always verify against the original filing.
