KeePer Technical Laboratory Co.Ltd. ( (JP:6036) ) just unveiled an announcement.
KeePer Technical Laboratory reported an 8.5% year-on-year increase in total December sales to ¥3.06 billion, driven by record monthly revenue in its B2C KeePer LABO operations and robust growth in its B2B products segment. In the LABO business, sales rose 6.7% to a new all-time monthly high, supported by two new franchise openings and strong demand in the Kanto and Kansai regions helped by large-scale TV advertising, even as heavy snowfall weighed on performance in northern Japan. While December volumes are typically high and raise concerns over overwork, the company successfully reduced labor productivity per hour below its internal caution level—especially in the Chubu region—indicating improved operational structures rather than simply longer working hours. On the B2B side, product-related sales climbed 11.1%, with KeePer PRO Shops posting a 12.0% increase as the newly launched Diamond II KeePer (DIA II) gained traction during the peak demand season, reversing a gradual decline in gas-station aftermarket installations amid sector consolidation. New car dealer sales surged 36.6% despite lower new vehicle registrations, as higher attachment rates and growing adoption of EX KeePer as a genuine accessory by brands such as Subaru, Volvo, and Mercedes-Benz underscored KeePer’s strengthening positioning in the OEM and dealer channels.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6036) stock is a Buy with a Yen4008.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on KeePer Technical Laboratory Co.Ltd. stock, see the JP:6036 Stock Forecast page.
