Okuwa Scraps Profit Target and Ends Medium-Term Plan Amid Cost Pressures

Okuwa Co., Ltd. ( (JP:8217) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Okuwa Co., Ltd. has withdrawn the operating profit target of 7 billion yen for the fiscal year ending February 20, 2027 and terminated its current medium-term management plan.

Management said it is currently unable to set a realistic new timetable for medium-term targets but will monitor conditions before formulating the next plan. While the profit goals have been scrapped, Okuwa is maintaining its existing capital policy, store strategy, product policy, and sales promotion measures as it continues to pursue sustainable growth and higher corporate value.
