Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Suntory Beverage & Food ( (JP:2587) ) just unveiled an update.

Suntory Beverage & Food reported an 11.2% year-on-year increase in first-quarter 2026 revenue to ¥406.9 billion, but operating income was flat and profit attributable to owners of the company fell 3.2% as higher costs weighed on margins. The balance sheet remained solid, with total assets of ¥2.18 trillion and an equity ratio above 60%, while operating cash flow improved and cash and cash equivalents rose to ¥132.4 billion, underscoring continued financial stability.

The company kept its full-year 2026 earnings and dividend forecasts unchanged, targeting 6.4% revenue growth and a modest 0.3% rise in profit attributable to owners, alongside an annual dividend of ¥120 per share. That steady guidance suggests management expects measured profit improvement rather than aggressive expansion, signaling a focus on maintaining shareholder returns and a resilient financial profile amid a challenging cost environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2587) stock is a Buy with a Yen5500.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Suntory Beverage & Food stock, see the JP:2587 Stock Forecast page.
