The latest update is out from Chiyoda Co., Ltd. ( (JP:8185) ).
Chiyoda Co., Ltd. reported that its consolidated results for the fiscal year ended February 2026 fell short of the forecasts announced in October 2025, with net sales slightly below plan and profits dropping sharply. Operating profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent declined significantly versus guidance and the prior year, as higher inflation-driven expenses and personnel costs outpaced modestly lower sales.
The company cited rising costs, inventory buildup from missed sales targets that forced discounting, and accelerated price cuts amid intense market competition, all of which compressed gross margins. Customer traffic at existing stores lagged the previous year, and conservative product lineups plus unoriginal promotions limited new customer acquisition, while a sizable reversal of deferred tax assets further reduced reported profit, underscoring operational and strategic challenges in a tough retail environment.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8185) stock is a Hold with a Yen1160.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Chiyoda Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:8185 Stock Forecast page.
