GIFT HOLDINGS INC. ( (JP:9279) ) has shared an announcement.
In March 2026, GIFT HOLDINGS INC. reported robust growth at its Japan company-owned stores, with all-store sales up 22.6% year-on-year and customer numbers rising 22.4%, despite one fewer holiday and slightly higher temperatures than a year earlier. Same-store sales rose 2.3% and 1.4% excluding refurbishment closures, as the company’s focus on QSCA-led operations supported strong traffic even though the prior-year price hike meant only a marginal 0.1% increase in the average check.
The group continued its refurbishment program, with one store closed and reopened in March and no closures scheduled for April 2026, while the store network expanded to 282 outlets versus 238 a year before. Cumulatively for the current fiscal first half to March, all-store sales are tracking about 24% above the previous year and same-store sales about 3.7% higher, underlining ongoing operational momentum and sustained demand across its restaurant portfolio.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9279) stock is a Buy with a Yen5061.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GIFT HOLDINGS INC. stock, see the JP:9279 Stock Forecast page.
