MARUDAI FOOD CO.,LTD. <2288> turned positive in afternoon trading. Around noon, the company announced that its consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, currently being compiled, are expected to exceed previous forecasts, with sales rising from the earlier projection of 238.0 billion yen to 238.3 billion yen (up 1.4% year-on-year), operating profit increasing from 7.0 billion yen to 7.5 billion yen (up 37.1% year-on-year), and net profit climbing from 9.0 billion yen to 9.7 billion yen (up 76.7% year-on-year). The announcement drew buying interest.

The company attributed the upward revision to higher-than-expected sales in desserts within the processed food business and in the meat business during the second half, although sales in the ham and sausage segment remained sluggish. In line with the improved performance, MARUDAI FOOD raised its year-end dividend forecast from 65 yen to 70 yen (compared to 50 yen in the previous fiscal year).
