JUNTENDO CO.,LTD. <9835> continued to fall. After the close of trading on the 27th last week, the company announced that its non-consolidated results for the fiscal year ending February 2026, which are still being finalized, are expected to come in below the previous forecast. Sales are now projected at \43.04 billion (down 3.0% year-on-year) versus the previous forecast of \44.5 billion, operating profit at \238 million (down 49.6% year-on-year) versus \480 million, and net income at a loss of \361 million (compared to a profit of \152 million in the previous year) versus a profit of \100 million. This announcement has weighed on the stock.

The company attributed the shortfall to its mainstay home center (HC) sales, which exceeded the prior year in the first half but fell below the forecast in the second half due to the impact on purchasing power from food price increases across multiple product categories in September and October, as well as a decline in customer traffic.
