Ohsho Food Service Corp. ( (JP:9936) ) has issued an announcement.

Ohsho Food Service reported February 2026 sales at company-operated stores of ¥8,251 million, a 0.4% year-on-year increase, while existing store sales slipped 0.5% to ¥8,000 million, indicating modest top-line growth driven by store network scale rather than same-store momentum. The data show that over the first three quarters of the fiscal year, cumulative sales at all company-operated stores continued to grow in the low- to mid-single digits, suggesting resilient demand despite softer customer numbers at existing locations and underscoring a reliance on higher spending per customer and incremental store openings to sustain revenue.

Monthly figures from April 2025 through February 2026 reveal that all-store sales remained consistently above the prior year, while existing-store performance hovered around flat, reflecting a mature domestic footprint and intensifying competition in Japan’s casual dining sector. Store counts were broadly stable at 727 locations by early 2026, signaling that Ohsho is prioritizing steady optimization of its network rather than aggressive expansion, which may help protect margins but limits near-term growth acceleration for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9936) stock is a Hold with a Yen3460.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ohsho Food Service Corp. stock, see the JP:9936 Stock Forecast page.
