E-SUPPORTLINK shares fall sharply as delays in fresh produce section support business prompt downward revision to FY11/2026 operating profit forecast

Fri Oct 2, 2026 12:44 pm JST Catalyst

E-SUPPORTLINK, Ltd. <2493> fell sharply after revising its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending November 2026 after the close on Oct. 1. Net sales were lowered from 7.033 billion yen to 6.876 billion yen (up 6.3% year-on-year), operating profit was cut from 221 million yen to 91 million yen (down 35.6% year-on-year), and net profit was changed from 144 million yen to undetermined (compared with 146 million yen in the prior fiscal year), weighing on investor sentiment.

E-SUPPORTLINK cited service rollout delays in its fresh produce department construction support business and a failure to reach an agreement to provide local vegetable procurement support services to a major retailer. Additionally, the company said signs of impairment losses in certain operations made it difficult to reasonably estimate the impact at this time, leaving net profit undetermined.

The company also reported nine-month results (December 2025 through August 2026), with net sales up 3.4% year-on-year to 4.905 billion yen, operating profit down 30.8% to 44 million yen, and a net loss of 12 million yen, compared with a net profit of 18 million yen in the year-earlier period.
