HKS Co., Ltd. <7219> is trading higher. The company announced after market close on April 10 an upward revision to its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2026, raising its net profit projection from 225 million yen to 325 million yen (down 10.1% year-on-year), which has been well received by investors. The revision is attributed to anticipated foreign exchange gains from yen depreciation and the recording of gains from the sale of cross-held shares.

Regarding sales, the forecast has been slightly raised from 9.3 billion yen to 9.375 billion yen (up 4.4% year-on-year), reflecting growing demand in the core aftermarket business, particularly in the domestic and U.S. markets. However, due to the impact of U.S. import tariff payments and other factors, HKS has maintained its previous operating profit forecast of 300 million yen (down 24.0% year-on-year).

At the same time, HKS announced its consolidated results for the interim period ending February, reporting sales of 4.424 billion yen (up 4.9% year-on-year), operating profit of 114 million yen (up 1.5% year-on-year), and net profit of 185 million yen (up 39.9% year-on-year).
