Minkabu Retail Investor Sentiment: Kotobuki Spirits Takes #3 Spot for Rising Sell Forecasts

Tue Apr 7, 2026 12:38 pm JST Catalyst

According to the "Retail Investor Predictions (Latest 48 Hours)" compiled by Minkabu as of noon on the 7th, Kotobuki Spirits <2222> saw the third-highest surge in "sell" forecasts.

On the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market, Kotobuki Spirits <2222> extended its decline to a third straight session. The confectionery manufacturer is widely recognized as a key inbound tourism play. While its consolidated operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is projected to reach a record \19.65 billion (up 11.6% year-on-year), sentiment has been dampened by concerns over a potential slowdown in inbound demand. This caution stems from expectations that rising crude oil prices will trigger higher airfares, potentially curbing travel. Investors are now closely monitoring the upcoming visitor arrival figures from the Japan National Tourism Organization, scheduled for release on the 15th.
