Hakuhodo DY Misses Revenue, Beats Profit Forecasts on Cost Controls and Restructuring

The latest update is out from Hakuhodo Dy Holdings ( (JP:2433) ).

Hakuhodo DY Holdings reported that revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, fell short of its earlier forecast, mainly due to changes in the scope of consolidation after transferring certain subsidiaries and weaker-than-expected demand in Greater China and ASEAN. Despite the revenue decline, operating and ordinary income surpassed projections thanks to profitability measures and strict cost controls, while net income attributable to owners of the parent missed the forecast because of extraordinary losses tied to structural reforms in Japan and overseas aimed at reinforcing its future revenue base.

The company posted revenue of ¥861.0 billion, down 11.2% from its forecast of ¥970.0 billion, but achieved operating income of ¥44.7 billion and ordinary income of ¥46.1 billion, beating expectations by 11.7% and 7.1%, respectively. Net income attributable to owners of the parent came in at ¥16.8 billion, 16.1% below the projected ¥20.0 billion, reflecting one-off restructuring costs that, while depressing current earnings, are intended to strengthen long-term competitiveness and profitability for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2433) stock is a Hold with a Yen1150.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hakuhodo Dy Holdings stock, see the JP:2433 Stock Forecast page.
