Shofu Inc. ( (JP:7979) ) has issued an announcement.
While consolidated nine-month sales edged up 0.9% to ¥29.1 billion on steady dental demand, operating income slipped 11% as softer machinery and cement volumes and rising R&D spending weighed on margins even though R&D intensity rose to 5.6%. Management still targets full-year revenue of ¥40.9 billion, suggesting confidence that stronger chemical products and disciplined cost controls can offset weak equipment sales, but investors must watch whether the rebound in profitability materializes given the higher operating leverage embedded in the plan.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7979) stock is a Hold with a Yen2060.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shofu Inc. stock, see the JP:7979 Stock Forecast page.
