Hokuto Corporation ( (JP:1379) ) has provided an update.
Hokuto Corporation reported higher revenue and operating profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, driven mainly by steady mushroom prices and effective marketing in Japan that supported its price competitiveness. Overseas performance was mixed, with flat sales in the United States and Taiwan and challenges in Malaysia, while the company pushed ahead with construction preparations for a new plant in North America and enhanced shareholder returns through a higher dividend and expanded benefits.
Looking ahead, Hokuto plans to boost profits in Japan by expanding mushroom sales and cutting labor, procurement, and energy costs, while overseas it will focus on demand growth for specialty mushrooms and strengthening sales capabilities. Under its medium-term management plan through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2029, the company is targeting ¥100 billion in sales and ¥10 billion in operating profit with improved capital efficiency, and has already achieved roughly 86% of its sales target and 70% of its operating profit goal, underpinning its plan to further formalize shareholder return metrics with a DOE target.
