Miyakoshi flips to profit forecast after 75% revenue upgrade on chip talks

The move: Miyakoshi raised expected revenue for the year to March 2027 to ¥3.5bn and swung to a ¥330mn net profit, but the upgrade rests on semiconductor supply negotiations in China and still-developing sales discussions with Japanese buyers.

Miyakoshi Holdings has sharply raised its outlook for the year to March 2027, turning an expected loss into profit after saying its new semiconductor business is moving faster than planned. The company now expects operating revenue of ¥3.5bn, up 75% from its earlier ¥2.0bn forecast, operating profit of ¥150mn instead of a ¥700mn loss, and net profit attributable to owners of ¥330mn instead of a ¥345mn loss.

Ordinary income-¥363mn¥487mn-¥839mn
Net income attributable to owners-¥345mn¥330mn-¥1.94bn

This is not a rounding exercise. Versus the previous forecast, Miyakoshi added ¥1.5bn to expected revenue, ¥850mn to operating profit, and ¥675mn to net profit. It also now expects ordinary profit of ¥487mn, where it had previously guided for a ¥363mn loss. The scale matters because the group's last full year produced just ¥391mn of operating revenue and a ¥1.94bn net loss.

Management tied the reset squarely to semiconductor channel-building. In the guidance notice, it said negotiations with two major Chinese memory semiconductor manufacturers have become concrete enough that a stable supply setup is starting to come into view. On the sales side, large business talks with Japanese companies are progressing smoothly, and orders are now expected to exceed the original plan.

That explanation helps, but it also shows how much of the new forecast rests on early traction rather than disclosed closed contracts. The filing talks about supplier negotiations, a prospective stable supply framework and sales discussions. It does not identify customers or spell out volumes, pricing or contract values. Miyakoshi also says the revised numbers are based on information currently available and assumptions it considers reasonable, and actual results could differ for a variety of reasons.

For business readers, the point is not that Miyakoshi made a routine forecast tweak. The company is telling the market that a semiconductor push, presented alongside a same-day real-estate-and-semiconductors strategy note, has become material enough to rewrite next year's profit-and-loss account. If the talks turn into repeat supply and repeat orders, the upgrade will look prescient. Until then, investors are being asked to accept a stronger forecast before the filings show fuller commercial detail.
