LIFEDRINK COMPANY INC. ( (JP:2585) ) just unveiled an announcement.

LIFEDRINK COMPANY, INC. revised its full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, trimming profit expectations despite a slight increase in projected revenue to 52.2 billion yen. Operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of the parent are now expected to be about 20–22 percent lower than the previous forecast, even though they remain above last year’s actual results.

Management attributed the downgrade primarily to higher logistics expenses and surging prices for tea raw materials, which are squeezing margins despite top-line growth. The company kept its year-end dividend forecast unchanged, signaling an intention to maintain shareholder returns even as profitability comes under pressure from cost inflation in its supply chain.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2585) stock is a Hold with a Yen1700.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on LIFEDRINK COMPANY INC. stock, see the JP:2585 Stock Forecast page.
