Hurxley Holdings Raises H1 Profit Forecast 87.5% on Investment Gains
Hurxley Holdings Corporation (TSE:7561) raised its earnings guidance for the six months ending September 30, 2026, citing stronger-than-expected first-quarter results and a one-time investment securities sale.
| Item | Before | After | Change | Change % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 26.4bn | JPY 26.4bn | — | —% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 0.9bn | JPY 1.3bn | JPY 0.4bn | 44.4% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 0.8bn | JPY 1.5bn | JPY 0.7bn | 87.5% |
| Net Profit | JPY 0.4bn | JPY 0.9bn | JPY 0.5bn | 125.0% |
| EPS | JPY 21.63/share | JPY 48.67/share | JPY 27.04/share | 124.9% |
The company attributed the upward revision primarily to first-quarter outperformance and a JPY 302M gain from the sale of investment securities not originally forecast. Operating profit benefited from improved labor productivity in the prepared-food business, which offset raw material and packaging cost inflation despite consumer spending restraint. The store asset and solutions division and logistics food and processing segment both performed ahead of plan through better cost control and productivity gains.
However, Hurxley maintained its full-year guidance unchanged, citing persistent headwinds including geopolitical risks, elevated crude oil prices, and ongoing consumer cost-consciousness. The company’s cautious stance on full-year prospects suggests management views the interim improvement as partially driven by non-recurring items and cyclical business strength that may not sustain through fiscal year-end March 2027.
