Kawagishi Bridge Works Co., Ltd. (TSE:5921) revised its earnings forecast for the second quarter of the 2026 fiscal year. Revenue is projected to rise to JPY 12.8bn from JPY 11.0bn, while other metrics are expected to decline.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 11.0bn | JPY 12.8bn | +16.4% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 500M | JPY 487M | -2.6% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 600M | JPY 584M | -2.7% |
| 中間純利益 | JPY 420M | JPY 401M | -4.5% |
| 1株当たり 中間純利益 | JPY 152.76/share | JPY 146.21/share | JPY -6.55/share |
The revision was driven by the inclusion of revenue from a large infrastructure project completed during the period, which exceeded prior expectations. Management noted that operating profit, ordinary income, and net profit for the interim period fell short of the previous forecast, primarily due to higher costs and margin compression.
Investors should note that while revenue growth is positive, the decline in profitability metrics may signal underlying pressures, including rising expenses and reduced margins. The company’s ability to manage costs and maintain profit levels will be key to sustaining performance in the coming quarters.
