Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Sapporo Holdings ( (JP:2501) ) just unveiled an update.

Sapporo Holdings reported consolidated revenue of ¥506.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, a slight 1.1% decline from the previous year, but delivered a sharp profit rebound as core operating profit rose 48.6% to ¥25.0 billion and operating profit surged more than fourfold. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent jumped 152.8% to ¥19.5 billion, boosting return on equity to 9.4% and lifting basic earnings per share to ¥50.02, reflecting improved profitability in continuing operations after reclassifying its Real Estate business as discontinued operations.

The company’s operating profit margin expanded to 4.8% from 1.1%, while core operating profit margin increased to 4.9% from 3.3%, underscoring stronger cost control and operational efficiency despite modest top-line pressure. Management also noted that the figures for revenue and profit indicators have been restated to exclude the Real Estate business for both the current and prior fiscal years, clarifying performance in the core beverage-focused portfolio ahead of the upcoming annual general meeting and dividend commencement in March 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2501) stock is a Hold with a Yen1726.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sapporo Holdings stock, see the JP:2501 Stock Forecast page.
