Skylark Holdings Co ( (JP:3197) ) has shared an announcement.

Skylark reported that its December 2025 same-store sales and all-store sales continued to run above the previous year, supported by higher average ticket prices despite a temporary year-on-year decline in customer traffic attributed to last year’s half-price campaign and one fewer Sunday. Promotional, higher value-added menus at key brands, including Gusto’s collaboration Motsunabe, Syabu-Yo’s premium beef and snow crab courses, and Jonathan’s red king crab and Wakahime beef offerings, lifted average spend per guest, while coupon-based “Year-End Patronage Appreciation Festival” campaigns and broad online/offline promotion for Gusto’s Motsunabe Fair further underpinned demand. Store development remained active with nine new openings and five format conversions in December, including Sukesan Udon’s first entry into Nara Prefecture and three additional overseas outlets in Taiwan and Malaysia, reinforcing Skylark’s domestic footprint and regional expansion. The company also highlighted its community engagement by providing emergency fundraising and soup-kitchen support following a large-scale fire in Oita City, underscoring its social role alongside ongoing growth initiatives.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3197) stock is a Hold with a Yen3701.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Skylark Holdings Co stock, see the JP:3197 Stock Forecast page.
