Beauty Kadan scraps dividend after funeral shift turns outlook into a loss
Beauty Kadan now expects ¥7.3bn in sales, a ¥145mn operating loss and a ¥140mn net loss for the year to June 2026, versus its previous plan for ¥120mn of operating profit and ¥40mn of net profit. The company blamed weaker funeral-service volumes in some regions as customers shifted toward smaller ceremonies, plus persistently high labour and outsourcing costs, and cut the year-end dividend to zero from ¥5.25 a share.
