Japan Hotel Reit Investment ( (JP:8985) ) has issued an announcement.

Japan Hotel REIT Investment Corporation has revised upward its operating and dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ended December 2025, citing stronger-than-expected hotel performance driven by robust domestic travel and continued growth in inbound visitor demand. For 2025, operating revenue, ordinary income and net income are all expected to exceed prior guidance, with net income forecast to rise by ¥1,076 million and the dividend per unit to increase to ¥5,060, helped by higher variable rent and lower financing costs despite slightly higher operating expenses. Looking to the fiscal year ending December 2026, JHR projects a further 2.3% year-on-year increase in dividend per unit, or 6.1% on a normalized basis excluding one-off factors in 2025, and has built into its forecasts some negative impact from China’s request that its citizens refrain from traveling to Japan. The REIT expects hotel performance to remain solid by tapping demand from Asia as well as Europe, the U.S. and Australia, and plans a large-scale renovation of the Hilton Tokyo Odaiba from February 2026 through end-2027 to support medium- to long-term revenue growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8985) stock is a Buy with a Yen107000.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Japan Hotel Reit Investment stock, see the JP:8985 Stock Forecast page.
