Monogatari posts double-digit sales growth as store network expands and renovations accelerate

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

Monogatari Corporation reported robust year-on-year growth in net sales and customer numbers across its domestic restaurant network through the second half of fiscal 2025 and into early 2026, with all restaurants including new openings posting double-digit sales gains and a rising store count. Existing restaurants also showed steady, though more moderate, growth in sales and traffic, suggesting that performance is being lifted by both underlying demand and continued outlet openings, while ongoing renovations and format conversions indicate active portfolio management that could further sharpen the company’s competitive positioning in Japan’s restaurant sector.

Within directly managed restaurants, net sales growth outpaced that of the overall network, particularly in early 2026, implying stronger operational leverage and brand momentum in company-run stores relative to franchises. Segment data for yakiniku, ramen, Yuzuan, and specialty formats show broad-based improvements, and the continued increase in directly managed units alongside selective temporary closures for renovation underscores a strategy of reinvestment and concept upgrading that may support sustained earnings growth and shareholder value over the medium term.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3097) stock is a Buy with a Yen5816.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Monogatari Corporation stock, see the JP:3097 Stock Forecast page.
