Graphite Design is expected to open with a buy indication at the daily price limit. The company sharply revised its operating profit forecast upward, from ¥110 million to ¥380 million for the first half and from ¥310 million to ¥530 million for the full year. The increase is attributed to the popularity of TOUR AD in the US market and expected growth in sales volume for its own-brand shafts.
Graphite Design announced a sharp upward revision to its earnings forecast the previous day, and its shares are expected to begin trading with a buy indication. The first-half operating profit forecast was raised from the previous ¥110 million to ¥380 million, while the full-year forecast was raised from ¥310 million to ¥530 million. A substantial year-on-year increase is expected.
The revision reflects strong orders from foreign-affiliated club manufacturers, driven by the popularity of the TOUR AD 2026 model in the US market, as well as sales volume for the company's own-brand shafts continuing to exceed expectations. These factors are expected to support the improvement in earnings.
The size of the company's forecast revisions is viewed as likely to generate a strong buying impact in the market. Market attention is expected to focus again on developments depending on additional information.
