Datasection Inc.
3905・Growth Market・Information & Communication
Business
Data Section Inc. originated as a data analytics specialist founded in 2000, and now forms a group comprising 11 consolidated subsidiaries in Japan and overseas. Its business consists of four pillars: the AI Infrastructure Business (GPU cloud and AI data center operations), the Data Science Business (DX and AI education consulting), the Systems Integration Business (contracted development in payments/finance and MSP), and the Marketing Solutions Business (the in-store analytics AI camera service "FollowUP"). Major clients range from large enterprises, including some of the world's largest cloud service providers, to South American retailers, and the company operates under two segments: Domestic Business and Overseas Business (mainly South America). It is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market.
Business Model
In the core AI Infrastructure business, the company procures and operates its own NVIDIA GPU-equipped servers, providing AI data center services to some of the world's largest cloud service providers via its proprietary AI Cloud Stack "TAIZA," thereby recording large-scale revenue. Meanwhile, "FollowUP" in the Marketing Solutions business, a stock-type service combining AI camera and POS data analysis, accumulates recurring revenue primarily in South America. The Data Science & SI business serves as a stable revenue base through contracted development, SES (system engineering services), and MSP (managed service provider) operations.
Company Strengths
Through its business partner Now Now Japan Inc., the company has signed three large-scale AI data center service usage agreements with one of the world's largest cloud service providers. Service provision under one of these agreements commenced in September 2025, and the company achieved revenue of ¥33,605 million (approximately 11x year-on-year) and turned profitable with operating income of ¥3,544 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026).
In July 2025, the company signed a fixed asset acquisition agreement with GIGA COMPUTING for 625 GPU servers equipped with NVIDIA B200 chips (5,000 units), and in December 2025 signed an agreement with INVENTEC for 1,250 GPU servers equipped with B300 chips (10,000 units). The company has secured large-scale procurement agreements for NVIDIA's cutting-edge GPUs amid continued supply tightness, building an equipment foundation for data center project operations from the next fiscal period onward.
The company officially launched its proprietary algorithm system for optimizing large-scale GPU cluster operations, AI Cloud Stack "TAIZA," in March 2025. Capital alliance discussions with CUDO, an NVIDIA Cloud Partner-certified company, are also underway. In parallel, FollowUP (South America) has been building up recurring revenue centered on Chile and Colombia, functioning as a stable revenue source that recorded Overseas Business revenue of ¥1,136 million and segment income of ¥149 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026).
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Revenue had continued to grow modestly, from ¥1,693 million in FY2022 to ¥2,943 million in FY2025, but expanded sharply to ¥33,605 million in FY2026 (approximately 11 times the previous period) due to the full-scale operation of the AI data center business. Operating profit had been in the red for four consecutive periods since the last profit of ¥77 million in FY2022, but turned positive with a profit of ¥3,545 million in FY2026. Net income also swung to a substantial profit of ¥2,802 million for the first time. As an external factor, robust demand for GPU cloud services driven by the rapid expansion of generative AI demand boosted performance. For FY2027, the company forecasts further high growth, with revenue of ¥162,193 million and operating profit of ¥24,815 million.
Growth Strategy
Dual-axis high-growth strategy combining rapid expansion of the AI data center business with continued growth in existing operations
Building on three major contracts with the world's largest cloud service providers, the company is expanding supply capacity through large-scale procurement of GPU servers equipped with NVIDIA B200/B300 chips. The plan is to establish this business as the primary driver of revenue and profit in FY2027 (ending March 2027).
The company continues to see strong performance in the Data Science and SI businesses driven by DSS Inc., and continues to expand sales scale through MSS Inc., which became a consolidated subsidiary in July 2024. It aims to capture growth in the domestic AI business market (an external factor projected to expand to 1.7 times the FY2021 market size by FY2027).
The company continues to expand consolidated subsidiaries centered on Chile and Colombia, with further expansion into Panama, Spain, and other countries, building up recurring revenue through a stock-type service model. It aims to function as a stable revenue source while capturing growth in the South American smart retail device market.
