ACMOS INC. <6888> shares are trading sharply lower. Around 2 p.m., the company announced a downward revision to its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending June 2026, lowering operating profit from 700 million yen to 450 million yen (down 22.9% year-on-year) and net profit from 450 million yen to 340 million yen (down 11.9% year-on-year), which has been negatively received by the market.

While the company raised its revenue forecast from 7.0 billion yen to 7.5 billion yen (up 16.8% year-on-year) to reflect the acquisition of a subsidiary in the IT solutions business and the impact of a change in the fiscal year-end of a subsidiary, it revised downward its operating profit and below due to rising procurement costs for equipment and necessary materials in large-scale projects for fire prevention and disaster management solutions and government agencies, as well as increased operating expenses such as personnel costs.

Meanwhile, the company's third-quarter cumulative results (July 2025 to March 2026) announced at the same time showed revenue of 5.698 billion yen (up 17.6% year-on-year), operating profit of 409 million yen (down 17.2% year-on-year), and net profit of 250 million yen (down 22.3% year-on-year).
