Asahi Co ( (JP:3333) ) has issued an update.

Asahi Co., Ltd. has sharply revised downward its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending February 20, 2026, citing a pronounced deterioration in consumer sentiment and weaker-than-expected demand for durable goods, especially bicycle-related products. The company now expects net sales of ¥81.0 billion and profit of ¥2.64 billion, reductions of 5.6% and 27.7% respectively from its previous forecast, with operating and ordinary profits also significantly trimmed; despite efforts to offset falling store traffic through new services and an expanded proposal menu, management anticipates the tough operating environment will persist into the fourth quarter, signaling pressure on earnings and margins for shareholders and other stakeholders.
