ARCLANDS CORPORATION ( (JP:9842) ) has issued an update.

ARCLANDS CORPORATION revised its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026, projecting higher consolidated net sales of ¥342.5 billion compared with its previous outlook, but sharply lower profits due to rising costs. While sales are being boosted by the early consolidation of Pets First Holdings, new Lopia franchise stores, and solid performance in the food service segment helped by campaigns and new restaurants, profit forecasts for operating, ordinary and net income have all been cut by roughly 25–31% as higher personnel, utility, rent and new store opening costs, as well as increased food input prices such as rice, outweigh cost-saving measures, signaling margin pressure and weaker earnings growth for stakeholders despite top-line expansion.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9842) stock is a Buy with a Yen2106.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ARCLANDS CORPORATION stock, see the JP:9842 Stock Forecast page.
