Kawasaki Kisen has raised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, increasing revenue from the previous forecast of ¥1.07 trillion to ¥1.17 trillion, operating profit from ¥85 billion to ¥91 billion, and ordinary profit from ¥135 billion to ¥190 billion. Net profit was also revised from ¥135 billion to ¥190 billion, while the full-year dividend forecast was left unchanged at ¥120. The company also disclosed that it had completed the cancellation of treasury shares on 2 October.
Attention will focus on the first-half earnings announcement scheduled for 4 November. Steady market conditions in the dry bulk business and cargo demand and freight market conditions in the container shipping business of ONE, an equity-method affiliate, are expected to exceed assumptions and contribute to results.
Following Hideki Matsui’s (松井 秀喜) appointment as manager of the Giants, ヒトトヒトＨＤ was reported to be pursuing activities in his role as the company’s ambassador. The stock was bought up to the daily limit on a temporary basis at the end of the previous week, breaking through its August rebound high and bringing the year-to-date high within reach.
