Bookoff Group Holdings Limited (TSE:9278) raised its earnings forecast for the period ending May 31, 2026, citing strong performance in its domestic book retail and premium services businesses.

The revision reflects stronger-than-expected sales in the domestic book retail business, particularly in the third fiscal quarter, driven by both physical stores and e-commerce channels. The company also noted increased investment in new store openings for the domestic business and adjustments to its premium services due to fluctuations in precious metal markets.
The updated forecast signals confidence in the company’s ability to sustain growth, with improved profitability across key segments. Investors may view the upward revision as a positive indicator of operational efficiency and market demand for Bookoff’s offerings.
