The latest announcement is out from Kakuyasu Group Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7686) ).
Hitomile Co., Ltd. has revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, projecting slightly lower sales than initially expected due to reduced sales volume to restaurant clients, though still above the prior year’s level. At the same time, the company now expects higher operating profit, recurring profit and net profit attributable to owners, supported by improved gross margins from price increases and reduced system-related expenses stemming from delays in a planned business restructuring system launch.
The updated guidance lowers forecast sales from JPY 142 billion to JPY 140 billion, but raises operating profit from JPY 1.44 billion to JPY 1.6 billion and net profit from JPY 0.5 billion to JPY 0.55 billion, lifting projected earnings per share from JPY 17.20 to JPY 19.06. This revision suggests Hitomile can offset softer top-line performance with better pricing and cost control, indicating a more resilient earnings structure that may reassure investors about profitability despite near-term demand headwinds in its restaurant-related business.
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.
