Trial Holdings hits daily limit down on earnings forecast miss despite upward revision

Fri May 15, 2026 11:05 am JST Catalyst

Trial Holdings <141A> plunged to its daily limit-down. After the market close on the 14th, the company announced its results and revised its consolidated operating profit forecast for the fiscal year ending June 2026 upward to 28 billion yen from 25.4 billion yen, up 32.7% year-on-year. The upward revision reflects sales exceeding initial expectations and ongoing efforts to control selling, general and administrative expenses. However, market expectations for operating profit were around 31 billion yen, prompting heavy selling as Retail Investors were disappointed by the shortfall. Synergies with Seiyu are also seen as somewhat delayed, with the results being assessed negatively. For the third quarter cumulative period (July 2025 to March 2026), Trial Holdings reported consolidated operating profit of 22.943 billion yen, up 70.4% year-on-year.
