Makuake raises FY September 2026 earnings forecast

Tue Sep 1, 2026 4:04 pm JST Catalyst

Makuake Inc. <4479> revised up its non-consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026 after market close, raising revenue guidance from 5.4 billion yen to 5.85 billion yen (up 27.8% year-on-year) and ordinary profit forecast from 670 million-800 million yen to 860 million yen (up 81.1% year-on-year).

The company attributed the revision to accelerating revenue growth driven by its flagship crowdfunding service Makuake, through which it focused on acquiring projects in home appliances and gadgets - categories of high interest among supporters - as well as providing post-listing growth support. As a result, acquisitions of project creators seeking to expand new product sales and supporters looking for AI-equipped appliances and gadgets exceeded initial expectations. Company-wide cost controls also contributed to the improved outlook.
