Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2027 · Full yearPrevious forecast published 15 May 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
Although revenue has remained firm, particularly for character-related products, profit is expected to fall below the previous forecast due to expectations that the weaker yen will continue from the third quarter onward, rising fuel and raw material prices resulting from the prolonged conflict in the Middle East and other factors, and anticipated increases in various expenses, including research and development costs related to the interactive AI-equipped plush toy “AI Charmy,” which is scheduled for launch. The dividend will be increased by adding ¥10 per share to the year-end dividend as a 30th anniversary commemorative dividend.
