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

Monogatari Corporation reported strong year-on-year growth in domestic sales and customer traffic across all restaurant formats for the first nine months of its fiscal year through March 2026. Overall net sales for all restaurants, including new openings, rose by double digits each quarter, supported by a steady increase in outlet count to nearly 800 locations, while existing restaurants also delivered consistent improvements in both revenue and guest numbers.

Performance was particularly robust in its core directly managed portfolio, where net sales in March 2026 climbed more than 13% year-on-year and quarterly trends showed broad-based strength across Yakiniku, Yuzuan, ramen, and specialty concepts. The continued expansion of the store network, combined with rising average traffic, underlines Monogatari’s solid operating momentum in Japan’s dining sector and suggests further gains in scale and competitive positioning, even as the company notes that the monthly data are preliminary indicators rather than full business results.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3097) stock is a Buy with a Yen5317.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Monogatari Corporation stock, see the JP:3097 Stock Forecast page.
