An update from Kourakuen Holdings Corporation ( (JP:7554) ) is now available.

Kourakuen Corporation reported preliminary December sales trends for its domestic directly managed stores for the fiscal year ending March 2026, showing continued year-on-year growth in both existing and all directly managed outlets. Existing domestic stores saw December sales rise 7.7% year-on-year on a 6.3% increase in customer numbers and a 1.3% rise in average spend, contributing to an annual cumulative 9.9% sales increase driven primarily by higher traffic. Across all directly managed domestic stores, December sales grew 4.7% year-on-year with a 4.2% increase in customers and slightly higher average spend, while the total store count edged down versus the previous year, indicating ongoing network rationalization. Compared with the prior fiscal year’s stronger double-digit gains, current growth remains positive but has moderated, suggesting the company is transitioning from a sharp post-recovery rebound to a more normalized expansion phase, with implications for stable but less explosive sales momentum for investors and other stakeholders.
