Kikkoman Corporation is a leading company in the food industry, primarily known for its production and sale of soy sauce, food products, beverages, and liquor both domestically in Japan and internationally. In its latest earnings report for the first half of fiscal 2026, Kikkoman Corporation reported a slight increase in revenue by 0.9% year-on-year, reaching ¥358,610 million. However, the company experienced declines in key profitability metrics, with business profit decreasing by 3.2% and operating profit by 5.6%. The profit attributable to owners of the parent also fell by 9.9%. Despite these challenges, the company saw strong sales growth in both its domestic and overseas food manufacturing and sales segments, with notable increases in the domestic beverage division driven by growing health and beauty awareness. Looking ahead, Kikkoman Corporation remains cautiously optimistic, revising its full-year revenue forecast slightly downward but maintaining a positive outlook on business profit, reflecting its strategic focus on expanding its product lineup and responding to market demands.
