Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
Furuya Metal's ordinary profit more than doubled to ¥24.7bn in the year to June on semiconductor and data-centre demand, precious-metal prices and a weak yen, and the company now says it will revise its 2030 profit target, though it has not yet said to what.
Japan's value-clothing chain Shimamura grew first-half operating profit 5.3% to ¥33.13bn, yet management still describes fierce price competition and thrifty shoppers as the norm, with full-year guidance left unchanged.
AEON Kyushu has decided to record a ¥1.75bn quarterly charge for Kumamoto earthquake repairs and lost stock, reopened 18 of 20 affected stores, and says further costs and the full-year hit are still being assessed.
Miroku Corporation will book a ¥1.19bn special gain for the year to October 2026 after Kochi Prefecture finalized a location subsidy tied to the maker's Nankoku City factory, a figure already folded into its August earnings revision.
Pan Pacific International Holdings, the holding company behind Don Quijote, reported net profit of ¥110.1bn for the year ended June 2026, up 21.6% and above ¥100bn for the first time in its published five-year run, as consolidated sales rose 8.8% to ¥2.45tn.
Okuwa now forecasts a ¥187mn first-half net loss, reversing its expected ¥300mn profit, and has cut its full-year profit forecast 92%, to ¥50mn, citing sharper-than-expected consumer thrift.
Customer traffic rose sharply at Nishimatsuya in September, when the company said cooler weather made for extremely strong autumn-clothing sales; existing-store sales rose 12.4% year on year, well above the 1.9% cumulative gain booked over the prior six months, with interim results due October 1.
Satsudora Holdings swung to a ¥157mn operating loss and dropped its full-year outlook as the drugstore chain's buyout tender offer clears the way for delisting, with store traffic, inbound sales and margins all softening in the quarter.
Overseas wholesale orders for Hobonichi's 2027 planner more than doubled from a year earlier, and that order intake, not confirmed retail sell-through, is why the stationery maker raised its full-year sales and profit forecasts on September 17.
Eternal Hospitality Group missed its own profit guidance for the year to July 2026, booked a ¥391mn impairment tied to closing four of seven Shanghai stores, and has now halved next year's operating-profit target while domestic same-store sales keep outperforming.
Foreign-visitor spending at Daimaru Matsuzakaya fell in August even as each shopper spent more, then swung to a 37% year-on-year surge in the first two weeks of September, while the Osaka Umeda store keeps dragging on department-store totals and PARCO's shopping centres post an 8.6% gain.
ASKUL's quarterly sales fell 8.2% and operating profit turned into a ¥418 million loss as the company keeps rebuilding from an October 2025 ransomware attack, yet it has not touched its full-year forecast of ¥7 billion in operating profit, a target that now depends on a sharp turnaround over the next three quarters.
Six-month sales at the Sabae eyewear group rose 14.8% to \u00a510.26bn as price increases and inbound tourist demand drove a 20% jump at its main brand, even as the group's second brand grew just 4.5% on slower overseas wholesale.
TOKYO BASE's first-half revenue jumped 21.1% largely on tax-free tourist spending, which supplied 72% of the increase in domestic store sales, while like-for-like sales slipped at UNITED TOKYO, PUBLIC TOKYO and CITY, the company's own original formats.
Kura Sushi's nine-month operating profit fell 45% even as group sales grew 4.4%, with Japan squeezed by still-high rice prices and its expanding US business absorbing tariff-driven cost increases, though full-year guidance is unchanged.
Sato Foods' quarterly profit fell 90.5% as cheaper loose rice made its packaged rice look pricey and a year-ago one-off gain flattered the comparison, but the company has finally issued a full-year forecast pointing to a 26.4% profit decline after previously saying rice-price volatility made guidance too unreliable to publish.
Japan's Q·B·B cheese maker has cut its full-year operating profit forecast to ¥1.5bn, a 35% reduction, after packaging costs rose more than a tenth amid deteriorating Middle East conditions and the yen traded weaker than budgeted; a July earthquake that shut a subsidiary's factory added to the squeeze.
Skylark Holdings' established restaurants grew August sales 4.6% year on year as traffic rose just 0.4% and almost the entire gain came from a 4.2% increase in what customers spend per visit; network-wide sales, lifted by new openings, rose 7.2%, and the group opened its first overseas Shinpachi Shokudo restaurant, in Singapore.
JM Holdings now expects ¥198.5bn in sales for the year to July 2026, but a ¥1.04bn store impairment and cautious price increases on rising food costs cut its net profit forecast to ¥4.9bn, down 30% from the original guide.
A 25% jump in Turkish beverage sales and lighter depreciation charges pushed DyDo Group Holdings to a ¥2.8bn interim profit, even as it kept pulling unprofitable vending machines off Japanese streets.
Matsuya's Ginza flagship sales fell about 11% in August, but the retailer says the drop is arithmetic: last year's figures were inflated by 100th-anniversary promotions and a newly renovated Louis Vuitton boutique, while cosmetics and women's apparel still grew this year.
ITO EN's quarterly operating profit rose 22% on price increases and lower depreciation, but the beverage group kept its unchanged June guidance for full-year profit to fall 7.8%, even after the standalone parent business saw sales shrink 6.4% while group units like Tully's Coffee and its overseas tea business carried the growth.
A weather-hit June selling season pushed Sanyo Shokai's six-month outlook from a small profit to a ¥480 million net loss, but the apparel group is still going ahead with a buyback covering up to 9.2% of its shares at a fixed price of ¥1,688.
DyDo Group Holdings lifted its full-year operating profit target to ¥12.3bn even after raising its year-end Turkish inflation forecast to 28.6% from 21%, a revision that embeds a ¥1.1bn hyperinflation-accounting drag on operating profit.
