Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

YOKOREI CO. LTD. ( (JP:2874) ) has issued an update.

YOKOREI Co., Ltd. reported that its second-quarter results for the fiscal year ending September 2026 significantly exceeded prior forecasts, driven by solid inbound and outbound volumes in its Refrigerated Warehouse Business and firm progress in rate revisions. The Food Sales Business also boosted profitability by pruning low-margin deals, tightening inventory management, and improving turnover, resulting in higher net sales, operating income, and profit attributable to owners of the parent than previously expected.

On the back of this strong interim performance, the company raised its full-year consolidated and non-consolidated earnings forecasts, projecting notable year-on-year growth in sales, profits, and earnings per share for the year to September 30, 2026. Reflecting improved earnings and a more profit-focused business structure, YOKOREI also lifted its dividend outlook, increasing the interim dividend to ¥13 per share and planning a higher year-end payout, for a total annual dividend forecast of ¥27 per share compared with ¥24 in the previous fiscal year.
