Yokota Manufacturing Co., Ltd. <6248> surged to its daily price limit of 2,330 yen. Following the market close on April 17, the company announced that its standalone results for the fiscal year ended March 2026 surpassed initial guidance. Revenue is projected at 2,308 million yen (up 1.4% year-on-year), up from the previous 2,300 million yen forecast. Operating profit is expected to reach 460 million yen (up 1.1%) against a forecast of 408 million yen, while net profit is slated for 325 million yen (up 1.9%) compared to the initial 286 million yen estimate. The results signal a swing to profit growth from a previously projected decline, buoying investor sentiment.

Profitability improved primarily through sales price revisions, which successfully offset rising raw material costs and wage hikes. In line with the upward revision, Yokota Manufacturing raised its year-end dividend forecast to 40 yen from 35 yen, bringing the full-year payout to 60 yen, up from 55 yen in the previous year.
