Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Kyokuyo Co., Ltd. ( (JP:1301) ) just unveiled an update.

Kyokuyo Co., Ltd. has revised downward its full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, cutting projected net sales from ¥350 billion to ¥330 billion and reducing expected profit attributable to owners of parent from ¥8.2 billion to ¥6.7 billion, which lowers forecast earnings per share from ¥690.38 to ¥564.10. The company cited raw material shortages that led to low plant utilization at its Dutch factory, as well as upfront costs tied to ramping up new plants in the U.S. and Vietnam, alongside weaker consumption driven by higher seafood prices amid global inflation, as reasons its sales and profits are now expected to fall short of initial plans, though it confirmed there will be no change to its dividend forecast.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:1301) stock is a Hold with a Yen5243.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kyokuyo Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:1301 Stock Forecast page.
