Monogatari Corporation ( (JP:3097) ) has provided an announcement.

Monogatari Corporation reported robust year-on-year growth in net sales and customer numbers across its domestic restaurant portfolio through the second half of fiscal 2025 and into January 2026. Both all-outlet and existing-store metrics improved, supported by steady restaurant openings and renovations across its yakiniku, ramen, Yuzuan, and other specialty formats.

For all domestic restaurants including new outlets, net sales in the first half of the fiscal year rose roughly 12%, with customer traffic up about 8%, while January 2026 figures showed further acceleration. Existing restaurants also posted positive, albeit more moderate, sales and traffic gains, indicating underlying demand rather than growth driven solely by new store openings, a trend that underscores the company’s strengthening competitive position in Japan’s casual dining sector.

Store counts increased across all key formats during the period, with directly managed outlets and franchises both contributing to network expansion. Renovations and format changes, including upgraded ramen and specialty units, were incorporated into existing-store statistics under defined criteria, highlighting management’s ongoing efforts to optimize the portfolio while sustaining comparable-sales momentum.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3097) stock is a Buy with a Yen5078.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Monogatari Corporation stock, see the JP:3097 Stock Forecast page.
