SAKATA SEED Extends Sharp Decline as December?February Quarter Profit Falls Significantly

Wed Apr 8, 2026 9:42 am JST Catalyst

Sakata Seed <1377> continued its sharp decline following the release of its consolidated financial results for the nine-month cumulative period (June 2025?February 2026) of the fiscal year ending May 2026, announced after market close on April 7th. Sales rose 9.4% year-on-year to \72.669 billion, while ordinary profit increased 11.6% to \10.441 billion. Despite the year-to-date figures showing growth in both revenue and profit, ordinary profit for the most recent three-month period (December?February) declined approximately 27% ? a sharp deterioration that appears to have weighed on the stock.

For the June?February period, the overseas wholesale business posted gains in both revenue and profit, partly supported by favorable foreign exchange effects. In contrast, the domestic wholesale business saw a decline in operating profit, weighed down by sluggish demand for flowers and other factors. The retail business also underperformed, with both the home garden segment serving mass retailers and the mail-order segment remaining weak, resulting in a wider operating loss.
