For the full year, Bell-Park raised revenue guidance to JPY 130.0bn from JPY 120.0bn, operating profit to JPY 6.6bn from JPY 5.0bn, and net profit to JPY 4.65bn from JPY 3.3bn. The company’s career shop and corporate solutions divisions exceeded initial projections in the first half. Management acknowledged that second-half results will face headwinds from increased sales promotion spending, higher personnel costs, and system investments tied to company-wide PC equipment replacement. Despite these planned investments, full-year profitability is expected to exceed original guidance across all metrics.

The year-end dividend has been raised to JPY 93.00/share from JPY 51.00/share, bringing the annual dividend to JPY 144.00/share—a JPY 42.00 increase. The increase reflects management’s commitment to maintaining a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% or higher based on revised earnings forecasts.

The upward revision signals operational momentum in Bell-Park’s core retail business, though investors should note that second-half margin expansion may be limited by planned capital expenditures and cost pressures.
