KeePer Technical Laboratory Co.Ltd. ( (JP:6036) ) just unveiled an announcement.
KeePer Technical Laboratory reported that total sales in February 2026 rose 1.5% year on year to ¥1.67 billion, driven by 6.8% growth in its B-to-C KeePer LABO Operations Business and 3.4% growth in its B-to-B Products and Related segment. Store expansion continued with one new directly operated site and one franchise opening, while volatile weather shifted demand toward lower-priced car wash services, pressuring average unit prices but boosting customer visits and car wash-related maintenance revenue.
In the consumer segment, the new Diamond II KeePer coating supported a 7.0% rise in the Diamond series, even as high-end EX KeePer volumes fell due to postponed new car deliveries ahead of an April 2026 auto tax revision, a trend management expects to reverse with a surge in deliveries from April. On the B-to-B side, sales to KeePer Pro Shops grew double digits on sustained advertising effects, and dealer business for brands such as Subaru, Volvo, and Mercedes-Benz increased despite temporary delivery delays; management remains optimistic about a recovery in both auto and non-auto markets as organizational changes and product strengths are leveraged for further expansion.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6036) stock is a Buy with a Yen3630.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on KeePer Technical Laboratory Co.Ltd. stock, see the JP:6036 Stock Forecast page.
