NEW YORK and TOKYO, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infor, the industry cloud company, today announced the appointment of Yuka Kanemitsu as President and Representative Director of Infor Japan.

Kanemitsu will lead the company’s business strategy and operations across Japan, with responsibility for accelerating customer success, expanding strategic partnerships, and driving continued growth in one of Infor’s most important global markets.

Her appointment comes as organizations across Japan increasingly invest in digital transformation, AI, and cloud technologies to improve operational resilience, strengthen supply chains, and address evolving workforce challenges.

As demand grows for industry-specific solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes, Infor continues to expand its Industry Cloud platform by combining deep industry expertise with AI capabilities purpose-built for complex business processes.

Quote from Geoff Thomas

Japan is one of Infor’s most strategic markets worldwide and plays an important role in our long-term growth strategy across Asia Pacific.

Organizations today are looking beyond general-purpose AI. They want technology that understands the unique requirements of their industries, improves business processes, and helps people make better decisions.

Infor is uniquely positioned to meet these needs through our Industry Cloud platform, which combines deep industry functionality with AI, automation, and advanced analytics.

Yuka has an exceptional track record of building high-performing organizations, strengthening customer relationships, and leading business transformation. Her leadership will be instrumental as we continue helping customers across Japan achieve measurable business outcomes.

Kanemitsu brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in enterprise technology. She will focus on expanding Infor’s presence across Automotive, Industrial Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, Distribution, and other asset-intensive sectors while helping customers modernize operations through Industry Cloud, AI, and intelligent automation.

Quote from Yuka Kanemitsu

AI is transforming how businesses operate, but technology alone does not create value. Sustainable business transformation happens when organizations combine industry expertise, modern cloud technology, trusted data, and AI to improve how work gets done. Together with our customers and partners, we will help organizations modernize with confidence and create measurable business value.

Closing

Infor continues to invest in innovation across its Industry Cloud platform, embedding AI and automation into industry-specific applications that help organizations improve operational performance, accelerate decision-making, and achieve measurable business outcomes.

Taboola Investigation Notice: SueWallSt Notifies Investors of Pending Investigation Into Taboola (TBLA)

Published

on

By

Taboola told investors its quarter was strong and raised its full-year ex-TAC gross profit outlook. The same release cut 2026 revenue and non-GAAP net income guidance — and the stock fell.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Taboola.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: TBLA) shares declined on August 5, 2026, after the Company guided full-year 2026 revenue to $1.930-$1.956 billion — as much as $110 million, or 5.4%, below the $2.04 billion FactSet consensus. If you lost money holding TBLA, you are encouraged to submit your TBLA loss information now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or by telephone at (888) SueWallSt.

The August 5 announcement was headlined “Taboola Reports Strong Q2 2026 Financial Results, & Raises Full-Year ex-TAC Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.” Inside the same release, the company’s updated guidance revealed it had negatively revised revenue and non-GAAP net income projections for fiscal year 2026. This followed a raise in revenue guidance following Taboola’s Q1 results. Revenue guidance for fiscal year 2026 has shifted from $1.993-$2.054 billion on February 25, 2026, up to $2.006-$2.062 billion on May 6, 2026, and now down to $1.930-$1.956 billion on August 5, 2026.

SueWallSt notifies investors of a pending investigation into potential securities law violations at Taboola on behalf of investors who suffered losses. The investigation concerns whether the Company’s public statements were consistent with the revenue trajectory reflected in its August 5, 2026 outlook.

Frequently Asked Questions About the TBLA Investigation

Q: Which statements are being investigated as potentially misleading?A: The investigation concerns whether Taboola.com Ltd. made materially false or misleading statements regarding its revenue outlook and growth trajectory. When the Company revised its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance downward, the stock price declined.

Q: Who is eligible to participate in the TBLA investigation?A: Investors who purchased TBLA stock or securities and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses — not on whether you still hold the shares.

Q: What documents do I need to participate?A: Brokerage statements or trade confirmations showing purchase dates, share quantities, prices paid, and any subsequent sale dates and prices.

Q: What does it cost me to participate?A: There is no upfront cost to participate. Securities investigations and any resulting actions are generally handled on a contingency basis — no retainer and no out-of-pocket costs.
