Kibun Foods Slashes Full-Year Profit Forecast on Cost Pressures and Overseas Weakness

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

KIBUN FOODS INC. ( (JP:2933) ) has issued an announcement.

Kibun Foods Inc. has revised its full-year consolidated financial forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, projecting lower net sales and a sharp drop in profits. The company now expects net sales of ¥111.2 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥1.5 billion, reductions of 3.9% and 48.6% versus prior forecasts, respectively.

The downgrade reflects weaker-than-expected sales in certain surimi and delicatessen categories despite price hikes, and a tougher environment in its overseas operations. U.S. trade policy shifts, inflation-driven demand stagnation abroad, higher raw material and packaging costs, reduced plant utilization, and a stronger Thai baht have collectively pressured margins, signaling operational and profitability challenges for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2933) stock is a Hold with a Yen1172.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on KIBUN FOODS INC. stock, see the JP:2933 Stock Forecast page.
