Hobonichi hits limit up as Q2 operating profit jumps 70%, topping FY guidance
Shares of Hobonichi Co., Ltd. <3560> surged to their daily limit, hitting a new year-to-date high. After the market close on the 10th, the company reported its standalone financial results for the first half ended February 2026. Operating profit jumped 69.6% year-on-year to \1,733 million, already significantly exceeding the company's full-year forecast of \680 million.
Revenue rose 23.0% to \7,065 million, driven by sales of the "Hobonichi Techo" planner surpassing 1 million units. Profitability was further bolstered by an improved cost-of-sales ratio. Despite the strong first-half performance, Hobonichi maintained its existing full-year earnings guidance.
