An announcement from Fuji Co., Ltd. ( (JP:8278) ) is now available.

Fuji Co., Ltd. has revised its full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2026, trimming operating revenue slightly to ¥814 billion and sharply lowering projections for operating and ordinary profit, while modestly increasing its net profit outlook. Despite steady sales in food products supported by low-price strategies, value-added offerings, and efforts to revitalize existing stores, profits are being squeezed by higher labor, logistics, and maintenance costs, leading to an expected decline in operating and ordinary income versus the previous forecast, though extraordinary gains from the sale of investment securities and asset portfolio adjustments are expected to lift net profit above prior guidance, with no change to the planned year-end dividend.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8278) stock is a Hold with a Yen2129.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fuji Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:8278 Stock Forecast page.
