Waseda Academy's latest annual report shows another clean step up in the numbers that matter. Consolidated net sales rose to ¥37.66bn in the year to March 2026, from ¥35.07bn a year earlier, while ordinary income increased to ¥3.97bn from ¥3.60bn. Profit attributable to owners of parent reached ¥2.49bn, up from ¥2.34bn.

For readers using listed education companies as a rough demand check, the signal is straightforward: this operator still managed to grow both revenue and profit. The filing's five-year summary also shows sales, ordinary income and parent profit moving higher over the period, which makes the latest year look more like continuation than blip.

That does not prove a broader private-education boom, and the filing excerpt in this packet does not break out the drivers by service, region or student mix. But as a short read on Waseda Academy itself, the message is plain enough: the company entered the new school year with higher sales and higher earnings than a year earlier.
