Fuji Koshi Revises FY2026 Earnings Up 26% on Demand Recovery
Fuji Koshi (TSE:6474) raised its full-year earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending November 2026, citing stronger-than-expected interim results and improving global demand across construction machinery and industrial equipment markets.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | — | JPY 124.8bn | — |
| Operating Profit | — | JPY 6.77bn | — |
| Ordinary Income | — | JPY 6.13bn | — |
| 親会社株主に帰属する中間純利益 | — | JPY 3.40bn | — |
| １株当たり中間純利益 | — | JPY 156M | — |
For the full fiscal year, Fuji Koshi lifted operating profit guidance to JPY 15.3bn from JPY 12.1bn, a 26.4% increase, while ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric combining operating profit and non-operating items—rose 27.9% to JPY 13.3bn. Net profit attributable to parent shareholders was revised up 17.2% to JPY 7.5bn. The company also raised its year-end dividend by JPY 10 per share to JPY 110. Management attributed the upward revision to yen weakness versus initial forecasts, recovery in construction machinery demand across Europe, the Americas, and China, and improved sales in ASEAN retail markets. Cost-reduction initiatives including production-line automation and material procurement optimization also contributed to the stronger outlook.
The revision signals accelerating profit growth and reflects management confidence in sustained demand recovery. The dividend increase demonstrates commitment to shareholder returns amid improving operational performance. International investors should note that ordinary income differs materially from operating profit due to Japan-specific accounting conventions, and the full-year guidance now implies significant earnings momentum in the second half.
