NH Foods Lifts Earnings and Dividend Forecasts on Strong Meat Business

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from NH Foods ( (JP:2282) ) is now available.

NH Foods has raised its full-year net sales and business profit forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, citing stronger-than-expected performance in its Fresh Meats Business. Higher unit prices for domestic chicken and robust beef sales in Australia are expected to lift net sales to ¥1.44 trillion and business profit to ¥64 billion, though profit before tax and profit attributable to owners of the parent remain unchanged due to the impact of a fire at a subsidiary’s Shiretoko Plant. Reflecting the improved earnings outlook and its policy to consistently return profits to shareholders under its Medium-Term Management Plan 2026, the company also lifted its forecast for the year-end dividend from ¥156 to ¥160 per share, aiming to enhance shareholder returns through a higher dividend-on-equity level and payout ratio.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2282) stock is a Buy with a Yen7751.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NH Foods stock, see the JP:2282 Stock Forecast page.
