Kurogane Kosakusho Ltd. Raises Net Profit Forecast 125% on Investment Gains
Kurogane Kosakusho Ltd. (TSE:7997) has revised its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending November 2026, lifting net profit guidance by 125% while holding operational metrics unchanged.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 連結売上高 | JPY 7.45bn | JPY 7.45bn | +0.0% |
| 連結営業利益 | JPY 70M | JPY 70M | +0.0% |
| 連結経常利益 | JPY 75M | JPY 75M | +0.0% |
| 親会社株主 | — | — | — |
| １株当たり中間純利益 | JPY 2.40bn | JPY 5.39bn | +125.0% |
The machinery manufacturer maintained its consolidated revenue forecast at JPY 7.45bn and operating profit at JPY 70M, with ordinary income (keijo rieki) unchanged at JPY 75M. However, net profit attributable to parent company shareholders is now projected at JPY 90M, up from JPY 40M previously. Earnings per share (EPS) guidance was similarly raised to JPY 53.92/share from JPY 23.96/share.
The revision reflects the company’s recognition of investment securities sale gains announced on May 21, 2026, classified as extraordinary income. This non-operating gain accounts entirely for the bottom-line improvement, with no change to core business profitability metrics.
The revision underscores a key distinction for international investors: the profit uplift stems from one-time financial gains rather than operational performance improvement. While the company’s core business remains stable, investors should note that the elevated net profit guidance is contingent on the realization of these extraordinary items and does not reflect underlying earnings power from manufacturing operations.
