Makuake surges at open after raising FY09/26 earnings forecast on accelerating 'Makuake' growth
Makuake Inc. <4479> opened sharply higher after revising up its non-consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026 after market close on the 1st, sparking buying interest. However, gains were subsequently pared amid broad market weakness.
The company raised its revenue guidance to 5.85 billion yen (up 27.8% year-on-year) from 5.4 billion yen, and lifted its ordinary profit forecast to 860 million yen (up 81.1% year-on-year) from 670 million-800 million yen.
The upward revision was attributed to accelerating growth in its flagship crowdfunding support-purchase service Makuake. Efforts to secure projects in home appliances and gadgets - categories drawing strong interest from supporters - as well as post-launch growth support, resulted in faster-than-expected acquisition of both project creators aiming to expand new product sales and supporters seeking the latest AI-enabled appliances and gadgets. Company-wide cost controls also contributed to the improved outlook.
