Makuake opened sharply higher and raised its non-consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026 to revenue of ¥5.85 billion and ordinary profit of ¥860 million. The revision was driven by growth in its “support-purchase service” and thorough cost management, which accelerated overall revenue growth.
Buying led after Makuake began trading, prompting the company to raise its revenue forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026 from ¥5.4 billion to ¥5.85 billion and its ordinary profit forecast from ¥670 million–¥800 million to ¥860 million. Shares attracted buying on the news, although there were periods in which the gains were erased amid broader market weakness. The upward revision to revenue followed a change in the latest earnings outlook. No explicit stock-price trend has been reported.
Growth factors included stronger efforts to secure projects in the home appliance and gadget categories and provide growth support after listing them on the flagship support-purchase service “Makooke (Makuke).” The company cited the acquisition of supporters seeking the latest AI-equipped home appliances, which progressed faster than expected, as a factor behind revenue growth, on the view that securing project creators would lead to expanded sales of new products. Thorough company-wide cost management also contributed.
MINKABU PRESS was cited as the source, reporting that the company attributed the upward revision to the acquisition of new project creators, growth support in the home appliance and gadget fields, and thorough cost management. In subsequent reports, the pace of growth at Makuke and changes in its cost structure are expected to be points of focus.
