BOOKOFF Raises Full-Year Earnings Forecast on Strong Domestic and Online Sales

BOOKOFF GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED ( (JP:9278) ) has issued an update.

BOOKOFF GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED has revised upward its full-year consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, citing stronger-than-expected performance in its domestic BOOKOFF operations and premium services business. Robust third-quarter trading in Japan, particularly at directly operated existing stores and in e-commerce during the peak season, led the company to project higher net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent, while maintaining its planned annual dividend.

The company now expects net sales of ¥128 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥2.4 billion, modestly above its previous guidance, implying year-on-year growth from the prior fiscal year. The upward revision underscores the resilience of its core reuse retail model and suggests improved earnings momentum heading into the final quarter of the fiscal year, which may be viewed positively by shareholders given the combination of profit growth and an unchanged dividend forecast.
