WARABEYA NICHIYO HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2918) ) has issued an announcement.

Warabeya Nichiyo Holdings will close its Murayama Plant No.2 in Musashimurayama, Tokyo, at the end of February 2027 as part of a broader effort to rebuild its domestic production structure and adapt to changes in the external business environment. Production from the plant, which currently manufactures prepared foods for convenience stores and employs 248 workers, will be transferred to other group facilities to maintain output while improving overall productivity, with affected employees reassigned within the group. The company expects higher depreciation expenses due to shortened useful lives of fixed assets from the fiscal years ending February 2026 to February 2027, but it is maintaining its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2918) stock is a Buy with a Yen3646.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WARABEYA NICHIYO HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:2918 Stock Forecast page.
