Ryohin Keikaku <7453> announced an upward revision to its full-year earnings guidance after the close of trading on April 10, alongside the release of its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending August 2026 (September 2025 to February 2026). The company raised its full-year sales forecast from the previous \860.0 billion to \887.0 billion (up 13.0% year-on-year) and its operating profit forecast from \79.0 billion to \89.0 billion (up 20.5% year-on-year). The revision reflects stronger-than-expected first-half results and updated assumptions for the second half, including foreign exchange rates.

For the first half ended February, sales reached \438.549 billion (up 14.8% year-on-year) and operating profit came to \45.045 billion (up 24.8% year-on-year). Alongside the expansion of its store network both domestically and overseas, existing store sales in overseas operations demonstrated significant growth. The East Asia business, which drove overall performance, benefited from strong sales during China's largest e-commerce event, "Singles' Day" (Double Eleven), and the Lunar New Year shopping season.

Ryohin Keikaku also increased its annual dividend forecast by \4, setting it at \16 per share for both the interim and year-end dividends, totaling \32 per share. Following the 2-for-1 stock split implemented on September 1, 2025, this represents an effective increase of \7 per share on a post-split basis.
