Fuji Beats Profit Forecast on Extraordinary Gains Despite In-Line Core Results

Fuji Co., Ltd. ( (JP:8278) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Fuji Co., Ltd., a TSE Prime Market-listed retailer under the Aeon Group, reported full-year consolidated results for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026 that were broadly in line with its January forecast on operating revenue, operating profit, and ordinary profit. The company continues to post operating revenue above ¥800 billion, underscoring its scale and relevance in Japan’s competitive retail landscape.

While sales and core profits matched expectations, profit attributable to owners of the parent significantly outperformed guidance due to extraordinary gains from the sale of investment securities and the transfer of shares in an equity-method affiliate. The impact of impairment losses lowered deferred income taxes, further boosting bottom-line profit and earnings per share, signaling a stronger-than-anticipated return for shareholders for the period.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8278) stock is a Hold with a Yen2022.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fuji Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:8278 Stock Forecast page.
