Shares of Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. <7453> extended their rally, hitting an all-time high. After the market close on the 10th, the company reported its consolidated financial results for the first half ended February 2026 and upgraded its full-year earnings guidance. Ryohin Keikaku raised its revenue outlook from \860 billion to \887 billion (up 13.0% year-on-year) and its operating profit forecast from \79 billion to \89 billion (up 20.5% year-on-year). Concurrently, it increased its annual dividend forecast by \4 to \16 per share for both the interim and year-end dividends, totaling \32, sparking buying interest on the back of strong business momentum and shareholder returns.

The upward revision stems from stronger-than-expected first-half results and updated second-half assumptions, including foreign exchange rates. For the six months ended February, revenue climbed 14.8% year-on-year to \438.549 billion, while operating profit surged 24.8% to \45.045 billion. Alongside continued domestic and international store expansions, the company posted significant same-store sales growth overseas. This robust performance was largely driven by the East Asia segment, which saw strong sales during China's Single's Day (Double Eleven) e-commerce event and the Lunar New Year shopping season. Factoring in a 2-for-1 stock split implemented on September 1, 2025, the new annual dividend forecast represents a substantial increase of \7 per share.
