TRIAL Holdings Posts Surging Sales but Profit Drops Amid Aggressive Expansion

The latest update is out from Trial Holdings Inc. ( (JP:141A) ).

TRIAL Holdings reported a sharp rise in net sales to ¥674.1 billion for the six months ended Dec. 31, 2025, up 67.0% year on year, with EBITDA more than doubling and operating profit climbing 71.9%. Despite this top-line strength, profit attributable to owners of the parent fell 33.8% to ¥4.1 billion, partly reflecting higher depreciation, goodwill amortization and costs tied to growth investments.

The company’s balance sheet expanded markedly, with total assets nearly tripling to ¥850.5 billion while the equity ratio dropped to 15.1%, indicating increased leverage or liabilities linked to its expansion. TRIAL maintained its dividend policy, paying no interim dividend but forecasting a full-year payout of ¥16 per share, and projected full-year net sales of ¥1.32 trillion with modest operating profit growth but a steep decline in bottom-line profit, suggesting margin pressures during its aggressive growth phase.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:141A) stock is a Hold with a Yen2596.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Trial Holdings Inc. stock, see the JP:141A Stock Forecast page.
