Monogatari Posts Strong December Sales Growth as Restaurant Network Expands

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

Monogatari Corporation reported robust year-on-year growth in preliminary sales and customer numbers for December 2025 across its domestic network of directly managed and franchise restaurants, with overall net sales and traffic both comfortably above the prior year and the total restaurant count continuing to rise. The figures show stronger momentum in directly managed outlets than in existing-store averages, reflecting the contribution of new restaurants and remodeled formats in yakiniku, ramen, Yuzuan and specialty concepts, while management cautioned that the monthly statistics are trend indicators rather than a full representation of earnings performance; nevertheless, the sustained double‑digit sales growth suggests solid operating traction heading into 2026 and underpins the company’s expansion strategy in Japan’s casual dining sector.

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.
