Strike Group Co., Ltd. Revises FY2026 Earnings Forecast Upward by 13%
Strike Group Co., Ltd. (TSE:6196) has raised its consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending September 2026, citing robust deal flow in its M&A advisory business.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 22.5bn | JPY 24.5bn | +8.8% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 7.32bn | JPY 8.30bn | +13.4% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 7.34bn | JPY 8.30bn | +13.0% |
| Net Profit | JPY 5.03bn | JPY 5.70bn | +13.4% |
| EPS | JPY 87.24/share | JPY 98.94/share | +JPY 11.70/share |
The company attributed the upward revision to stronger-than-expected deal closures since the third quarter of fiscal 2026, with multiple large-mandate transactions completed in July and August. Strike Group noted that deal cycles have lengthened, prompting management to adopt a conservative stance by excluding certain late-period transactions expected to execute in the following fiscal year from the current forecast.
The revision underscores resilience in Japan’s M&A advisory market despite macroeconomic headwinds. However, investors should note the embedded execution risk: the company’s guidance assumes delayed closing of some pipeline deals, meaning actual results depend on timing of transaction completion. The ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific profit metric that includes non-operating financial items—rose 13.0%, slightly trailing operating profit growth, reflecting stable financial income. The earnings per share (EPS) increase of JPY 11.70/share aligns with bottom-line profit growth, suggesting no material changes to share count or tax rates.
