ktk turns negative as FY2027 forecast signals net profit decline on fading one-time gains
ktk INC. <3035> turned negative after releasing its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2027 around 2:00 p.m., projecting net sales of 20.4 billion yen (up 1.0% year-on-year), operating profit of 610 million yen (up 9.3%), and net profit of 425 million yen (down 13.2%), with lower bottom-line earnings weighing on the stock.
ktk expects its supplies unit to achieve higher sales and profit by acquiring new customers and expanding sales of in-house products, primarily reused toner cartridges. Its IT solutions unit is also forecast to post revenue and profit growth through cross-selling and upselling leveraging the group's customer base. However, prior-year net profit was boosted by gains on the sale of cross-shareholdings and tax credits under a wage-hike incentive scheme, with the absence of these one-time factors driving the earnings decline.
For the fiscal year ended August 2026, ktk reported net sales of 20.19 billion yen (up 6.7% year-on-year), operating profit of 557 million yen (up 30.8%), and net profit of 489 million yen (up 47.4%).
