Yoshimura Food Misses Profit Forecasts on Scallop Slump and Overseas Weakness

Yoshimura Food Holdings KK ( (JP:2884) ) just unveiled an update.

Yoshimura Food Holdings reported that full-year consolidated results for the fiscal year ended February 2026 missed earlier profit forecasts despite slightly exceeding projected net sales. Profit attributable to owners of the parent dropped sharply versus guidance and the prior year, leading to a significant decline in earnings per share.

The shortfall was driven mainly by its scallop-related business, where high procurement costs, controlled sales volumes, and a domestic price slump in boiled scallops forced a large inventory write-down. Overseas operations, particularly in Singapore, also underperformed amid an economic slowdown and weak restaurant demand, though other domestic businesses remained stable as the company pursues pricing optimization, sales strategy reviews, and cost reductions to support profitability.
