HitoMile Lifts FY2025 Forecast on Strong B2B and Profit Growth

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from Kakuyasu Group Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7686) ) is now available.

HitoMile Co., Ltd., formerly Kakuyasu Group, reported consolidated sales of JPY 106.8 billion for the nine months to December 31, 2025, up 4.6% year on year, driven mainly by its core B2B quick and route delivery segments. Store sales declined, but the shift toward B2B and private brand products helped lift gross profit by 9.0% and operating profit by 19.0%, with margins supported by price increases and changes in cost recognition.

The company also flagged higher selling, general, and administrative expenses, particularly in system development for business restructuring, logistics-related delivery and rental costs, and planned store maintenance. Despite these rising costs, recurring profit and net profit both improved, and HitoMile announced an upward revision to its earnings forecast, signaling stronger-than-expected performance and a firmer financial footing for its ongoing transformation.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7686) stock is a Hold with a Yen404.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kakuyasu Group Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:7686 Stock Forecast page.
