Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd. Lifts FY2027 Earnings on Strong Q1, Yen Weakness
Mitsuboshi Belting Ltd. (TSE:5192) raised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 on the back of first-quarter outperformance and favorable currency tailwinds.
| Item | Before | After | Change |

| Operating Profit | JPY 4.50bn | JPY 5.60bn | +24.4% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 4.00bn | JPY 5.70bn | +42.5% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する中間純利益 | JPY 4.20bn | JPY 5.40bn | +28.6% |

The company cited stronger-than-expected first-quarter results and robust overseas sales as primary drivers. A weaker yen—prompting the company to revise its forex assumption to 155 yen per dollar from 150—provided additional support. The revision also reflects a one-time gain from tariff refunds received in the United States. For the full fiscal year, Mitsuboshi lifted revenue guidance to JPY 97.0bn from JPY 95.0bn, while operating profit rose to JPY 9.90bn from JPY 8.80bn. Ordinary income (keijo rieki), a Japan-specific metric capturing non-operating items, climbed to JPY 9.80bn from JPY 8.70bn.
The upward revision signals improved operational momentum and pricing power in export-heavy segments. However, investors should monitor currency volatility and global economic headwinds, which remain sources of uncertainty. The tariff refund represents a non-recurring benefit, so underlying operational gains merit close scrutiny in coming quarters.
