Uoki Co., Ltd. (TSE:2683) has revised its full-year 2026 earnings forecast, citing store closures and cost adjustments.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 9.95bn | JPY 9.49bn | -4.6% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 60M | JPY 88M | +46.7% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 60M | JPY 90M | +50.0% |
| Net Profit | JPY 40M | JPY 30M | -25.0% |
| EPS | JPY 15.66/share | JPY 12.16/share | JPY -3.50/share |
The company attributed the revenue decline primarily to the closure of two stores, including a large-scale facility, in its fresh fish business. Despite this, operating profit and ordinary income are expected to rise due to cost reductions from operational efficiency measures and a 0.7% improvement in gross margin. The company also noted a non-cash impairment loss of JPY 39M related to fixed assets.
The revised forecast presents a mixed outlook: revenue is expected to decline, but operating margins are strengthening. Investors should monitor the impact of store closures on long-term growth while noting the positive contribution from cost control. The reduction in net profit highlights pressure from one-time charges, which may affect short-term shareholder returns.
