The latest announcement is out from Riso Kyoiku Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4714) ).

Riso Kyoiku Group Corporation has revised downward its full-year consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026, cutting projected net sales from ¥36.0 billion to ¥34.2 billion and reducing expected profit attributable to owners of parent from ¥2.0 billion to ¥1.54 billion. The company cited weaker-than-planned student enrollment in its core Tutoring School (TOMAS) and Early Childhood Education (Shingakai) businesses, along with higher land and building rents and increased personnel and recruitment costs tied to efforts to secure and retain talent, as the main reasons for the projected shortfall in both sales and profits relative to its initial plan, though sales are still expected to exceed the previous fiscal year’s level. Despite the downgrade in earnings expectations and the anticipated decline in profitability, the company plans to maintain its previously announced annual dividend forecast of ¥10 per share, signaling a commitment to stable shareholder returns even as cost pressures and competitive dynamics weigh on margins.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4714) stock is a Buy with a Yen222.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Riso Kyoiku Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4714 Stock Forecast page.
