Avex Inc. (TSE:7860) has raised its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, citing strong performance in its anime and music businesses.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating Profit | JPY 3.00bn | JPY 4.00bn | +33.3% |
| Net Profit | JPY 2.80bn | JPY 3.50bn | +25.0% |
| EPS | JPY 65.94/share | JPY 82.42/share | +25.0% |
The revision is attributed to improved sales from anime content exports and increased live-related revenue in the music sector. Additionally, expense management reviews led to lower selling, general, and administrative costs.
Avex attributed the upward revision to robust demand for its anime titles in overseas markets and higher-than-expected revenue from live events. The company also noted that revised expense policies contributed to cost efficiency.
The updated forecast signals stronger-than-expected performance across key business segments, which may support investor confidence in Avex’s ability to deliver consistent results. However, actual outcomes could differ based on market conditions and operational execution.
