For the full fiscal year, Max raised revenue guidance to JPY 109.9bn from JPY 105.5bn, a 4.2% increase. Operating profit was lifted JPY 1.1bn to JPY 19.9bn, while net profit attributable to parent shareholders rose JPY 850M to JPY 15.05bn. Earnings per share improved to JPY 85.36 from JPY 80.07.
The company attributed the upward revision to robust first-quarter results that exceeded prior expectations. Management cited sustained operational momentum across its business segments, positioning the company for stronger profitability throughout the fiscal year.
The revision signals improving operational efficiency, with return on equity (ROE) expected to expand to 13.0% from the previously forecast 12.3%. The across-the-board profit upgrades—particularly the 9.4% operating profit increase and 9.6% net profit lift for the interim period—suggest strengthening underlying business fundamentals and enhanced revenue quality. Investors should monitor whether management can sustain this momentum through the remainder of the fiscal year.
