Ericsson commits to Japan R&D investment
Investment to support Japan's connectivity ecosystem of partners, suppliers and customers globally
R&D innovation to help accelerate the build-out of national digital infrastructure, through deployment of open high-performing programmable networks
STOCKHOLM, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) plans to ramp up its commitment to Japan's connectivity ecosystem through R&D investment that will initially see up to 300 high-skilled next-generation telecoms jobs created in the country. This will also enable Japan's ecosystem to become an integral part of Ericsson's global ecosystem.
Today's announcement of intention coincides with a country visit by Ericsson President and CEO, Börje Ekholm.
"Japan is known around the world for embracing emerging technology and being frontrunner adopters of new generations of connectivity," he says. "We are on the cusp of the biggest transformative and innovative changes in the history of technology and connectivity is the key to making them happen through open high-performing programmable networks. Ericsson's intention is to invest in that pioneering Japanese legacy through advanced RAN R&D in 5G, and beyond, to benefit the entire telecoms ecosystem of partners, suppliers and customers in Japan."
While the process is in its initial stages, Ekholm said the commitment is actively being progressed.
"Our intent to expand R&D in Japan emphasizes how strategically important the market is to Ericsson," he adds. "In addition to complementing ongoing Ericsson 6G-focused partnerships in Japan, it also highlights our commitment to work with all local stakeholders to deliver the benefits of open high-performing programmable networks."
The speed, low-latency, large data capacity and intelligent capabilities of high performing, programmable networks are key to making innovative new technology business use cases - including AI - a reality.
The RAN-focused investment will benefit from closer collaboration with ecosystem suppliers and partners in Japan. The new Japan R&D capabilities will also give local partners the opportunity to play a role in strengthening Ericsson's global ecosystem.
Per Narvinger, Executive Vice President and Head of Ericsson Networks, says the investment will enable Ericsson to better meet Japan's digital infrastructure needs as the country invests in high-performing programmable 5G networks.
"Ericsson has a long and proud history in Japan," he says. "We have been operating in the country for more than 40 years and recognize the economic and technological importance of the Japanese market. Japan has a rich technology ecosystem and a strong talent pool, which is conducive to building a strong R&D presence in the country."
He adds: "The race for digitalization is a global competition and high-performing programmable 5G networks will be instrumental for Japan. At Ericsson, we're committed to strengthening collaborations to industrialize an Open RAN-ready network, ensuring Japan's digital future is bright and prosperous."
Globally, Ericsson invests around USD 5 billion in R&D annually, which plays a significant role in cementing the company's technology leadership in 5G and next-generation products and solutions.
Ericsson began operations in Japan in 1985. The company has offices in Tokyo, Yokohama and Sendai. The company currently employs more than 1,000 people in the country.
In addition to the intent to expand research and development operations in Japan, Ericsson is collaborating on 6G research with the Yokohama National University and the University of Electro-Communications.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise as US-Japan breakthrough boosts deal hopes, with Tesla and Google on deck
US stock futures popped on Wednesday after the US struck a trade deal with Japan, lifting hopes for further tariff pacts as Wall Street got ready for Tesla (TSLA) and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) earnings. Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) rose roughly 0.5%, while S&P 500 futures (ES=F) moved up 0.4%. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) edged up 0.1%, following a mixed day for stocks. The new pact places a 15% tariff on imports from Japan, President Trump said — a step down from the threatened 25% duties set to hit next week. For its part, Tokyo will make $550 billion in US investment. "It's a great deal for everybody," Trump said late Tuesday. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs The major-partner breakthrough lifted optimism that more trade deals will be sealed before Aug. 1, when Trump's sweeping tariffs kick in. Economists believe that if tariffs then average out at 15%, that would be manageable for the global economy, limiting damage. The deal's confidence boost for markets after months of tariff uncertainty is likely to fuel this week's record-setting run in the S&P 500 (^GSPC), which eked out another all-time closing high on Tuesday. But the rally faces a big test in Google-parent Alphabet and Tesla's earnings due after the bell, the first of the "Magnificent Seven" to report. Tesla CEO Elon Musk's rocky relationship with Trump is looming large over the EV maker's earnings. With its stock down nearly 18% year-to-date, investors are watching for updates on the company's core auto business and its robotaxi rollout. With Alphabet, investors are looking for signs that AI investments are starting to pay off as the company pours billions into the technology. A federal judge's decision that could force the company to sell Google Chrome will also be in focus. Meanwhile, investors will scour Wednesday's flurry of quarterly earnings for more insight into how Corporate America is coping with tariffs, after Texas Instruments' (TXN) soft guidance fed fears. Highlights on the docket include Chipotle (CMG), AT&T (T), IBM (IBM), and Alaska Air (ALK). The protein boom is only beginning Yahoo Finance's Hamza Shaban reports in today's Morning Brief: Read more here. Enphase stock slides on warning of hit from Trump policies Shares in Enphase Energy (ENPH) fell after its third quarter revenue forecast fell short, as the US solar company pointed to headwinds from President Trump's policies. The solar equipment maker said Trump's import tariffs had hit its gross margin, after the US in April finalized steep duties on solar cells from Southeast Asia. At the same time, Enphase faces the fallout from Trump's cuts to tax incentives in the renewable energy sector. It said it expects the US residential solar market to shrink 20% next year as tax credits for homeowners end under Trump's sweeping budget legislation. Bloomberg reports: Read more here. Trending tickers: Krispy Kreme, GoPro and Constellation Energy Corporation Here are some top stocks trending on Yahoo Finance in premarket trading: Krispy Kreme (DNUT)`stock rose 22% before the bell boosted by their names trending on social media a day after retail traders snapped up Kohl's (KSS) shares. Camera maker GoPro (GPRO) shares rose 43%, per Reuters short interest in the stock recently stood at 7.7%. Investor interest in heavily shorted stocks has grown after Kohl's jumped 38% on Tuesday amid heavy retail buying. Constellation Energy Corporation (CEG) stock rose 4% premarket after PJM Interconnection released results from its 2026-2027 capacity auction. The grid operator set record prices at $329.17 per megawatt-day, raising total capacity costs to $16.1 billion from $14.7 billion last year. Tesla Q2 earnings preview: 3 things to watch Tesla (TSLA) is slated to report second quarter earnings on Wednesday against an uncertain backdrop for its core auto business and robotaxi rollout. Tesla stock pared some of its losses earlier in the year, as tariffs and a volatile relationship between CEO Elon Musk and President Trump weighed on the company. But the stock is still down about 17% year to date. Yahoo Finance's Pras Subramanian previews three key areas to watch when the EV maker reports: Read more here. Meme stocks are on the move again The return of meme stock mania doesn't appear like it will end on Wednesday. Some of the highest-trending ticker pages on Yahoo Finance this morning are meme crowd favorites Kohl's (KSS), Rocket (RKT), and Krispy Kreme (DNUT). As of 6 a.m. ET, Rocket and Krispy Kreme are each up double-digit percentages in premarket. "The phenomenon of meme stocks isn't going away. I feel like the genie's out of the bottle. And it's just become a way for a certain subset of everyday investors to trade, and that's completely fine," Ritholtz Wealth Management strategist Callie Cox said on Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid (watch below). Makes sense! Texas Instruments stock plunges as guidance disappoints Given how hard the stock market has rallied, any company reporting guidance that is perceived as subpar will get punished. A good example of that will play out with Texas Instruments (TXN) in today's session. The stock is getting pounded premarket, down 12% after third quarter guidance on earnings per share that was 14 cents below consensus on the low end. TXN blamed weak demand in the auto market (heard the same in GM's (GM) outlook on Tuesday). Executives at the key chipmaker for producers of cars and factory equipment said they didn't know how much of the second quarter's jump in revenue was down to customers trying to get ahead of tariffs, per Reuters. Whatever the case, TXN's outlook is putting pressure on similar names in the space: Microchip (MCHP), Analog Devices (ADI), NXP Semiconductors (NXPI), and On Semi (ON). Japanese auto stocks surge as US announces lower-than-expected tariffs Shares of Japanese automakers pumped after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Japan, lowering the previously discussed 25% auto tariffs on Japanese vehicles to 15%. Honda (HMC) surged 9.8%, Toyota (TM) jumped 13.9%, Nissan (7222.T) gained over 5%, and Mazda (7261.T) soared 17.7%. Mitsubishi Motors (7211.T) rose over 12%. According to Japan's NHK, the revised tariff structure includes a 12.5% cut plus a 2.5% 'Most Favored Nation' base rate. The move comes as Japanese auto exports to the US have suffered, plunging 26.7% in June. Trump hailed the deal as the 'largest Deal ever,' claiming Japan would invest $550 billion in the US and allow greater access to its markets, including for American autos, trucks, and agricultural goods. Trending tickers in after-hours trading Texas Instruments, Inc. (TXN) Texas Instruments, a leading chipmaker with the broadest product list in the field, saw its share value drop over 11.6% in after-hours trading. The stock has seen 46% gains in the year to date following a boom in purchases with each wave of tariff announcements. The rapid cooling-off occurred when the executive team announced they were unaware how much of the increase in revenue had been dependent on consumers attempting to circumvent the hike in prices from Trump's tariffs. Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH) Solar equipment provider Enphase Energy saw a drop of over 7.2% in the company's stock value in extended trading. With 5% of the market share in the solar equipment field Enphase acts as an early indicator for the impact that Trump's removal of tax credits will have upon the industry. Enphase are pointing towards a 20% drop in the residential market. Read more here. Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) Shares in semiconductor maker Analog Devices saw a drop of over 4.1% after-hours, erasing gains from the month so far.

Bybit and Cactus Custody launch secure trading solution
Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has formed a strategic partnership with Cactus Custody, an Asia-based digital asset custodian owned by the Matrixport Group. The collaboration delivers a new off-exchange settlement solution via Cactus Oasis, with the service expected to launch on July 28, 2025. This integration is specifically designed for institutional and professional clients, allowing them to trade on Bybit without having to pre-fund exchange accounts. In order to lower counterparty risk and preserve access to market liquidity, clients place collateral into Cactus Custody, where assets are kept in completely segregated, regulated custody and only moved to Bybit at the point of trade settlement. Shunyet Jan, head of institutional and derivatives at Bybit stated: "Bybit is committed to providing institutions with a secure and efficient trading environment. The integration of Cactus Oasis gives our clients more flexibility in managing liquidity without compromising asset protection. Furthermore, the new approach ensures that institutional clients maintain complete control over their assets until the precise moment of deal execution. This enables institutions to achieve internal governance standards while optimising capital usage and risk management systems. Cactus Custody's security infrastructure comprises a layered wallet system that combines hot and cold storage. The platform integrates hardware security module (HSM) encryption with institutional-grade cold storage protocols. It also has Deloitte SOC 1 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications and operates under Hong Kong Monetary Authority licenses, ensuring that it meets stringent industry standards. Furthermore, Cactus Oasis offers cross-platform custody through its own Buffer accounts. This structure speeds asset transfers across exchanges, allowing for better risk controls and settlement automation. Dual- and pre-authorisation modes, customisable workflows, and role-based access are among the features that ensure strict compliance with the KYC (Know Your Customer), KYB (Know Your Business), and KYT (Know Your Transaction) protocol. Wendy Jiang, General Manager of Cactus Custody shared: "This integration with Bybit addresses institutional demands for secure custody, risk reduction, and efficient post-trade settlement. It represents a meaningful step in advancing digital asset trading infrastructure and driving institutional adoption." The relationship is especially crucial for Asia-Pacific institutions, where legal certainty, capital flexibility, and solid risk management are essential for long-term institutional participation in digital assets. Bybit and Cactus Custody have both said that their joint objective is to promote the institutionalisation of cryptocurrency markets with compliant, transparent, and scalable infrastructure. This integration is expected to play a critical role in encouraging broader institutional adoption globally.
