Fujicco Co., Ltd. Revises H1 Earnings Forecast — Operating Profit +50%

Fujicco Co., Ltd. (TSE:2908) has raised its earnings guidance for the first half of fiscal year 2027 (ending March 2027), citing stronger-than-expected profitability from product price increases implemented in April 2026.

The company maintained its revenue forecast at JPY 28.0bn while significantly upgrading profit expectations. Management attributed the revision to price adjustments across multiple product lines that took effect in April 2026. While net sales tracked in line with original projections, the pricing actions delivered profitability improvements exceeding initial assumptions. Operating profit climbed JPY 200M to JPY 600M, while ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric encompassing operating profit plus non-operating items—rose JPY 200M to JPY 760M. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders increased JPY 130M to JPY 500M, with earnings per share advancing to JPY 17.56 from JPY 12.99.

The upward revision signals successful execution of Fujicco’s pricing strategy in a competitive food products market. However, the company maintained its full-year guidance unchanged, suggesting management remains cautious about second-half headwinds. This likely reflects uncertainty surrounding geopolitical risks and potential cost pressures that could offset first-half gains, warranting investor attention to upcoming quarterly updates.
