Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4526) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd. has lowered its consolidated full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, cutting projected net sales from ¥100 billion to ¥96 billion and trimming expected profit attributable to owners of parent from ¥8.2 billion to ¥6.5 billion. Earnings per share are now forecast at ¥219.84, down from ¥274.49 and well below the previous year’s ¥310.08, signaling a notable deterioration in expected profitability.
The downward revision is driven by sluggish consumer demand in China and intensified price competition in Europe and Southeast Asia, which are weighing heavily on the company’s Overseas business. Additionally, a revised estimate of asset retirement obligations tied to asbestos removal costs is set to depress operating profit in the Domestic Food business, although Riken Vitamin is maintaining its year-end dividend forecast despite the weaker earnings outlook.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4526) stock is a Buy with a Yen3581.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4526 Stock Forecast page.
