Sugimoto & Co. revised its ordinary profit forecast for the first half of the current fiscal year upward from the previous forecast of ¥810 million to ¥1.31 billion, indicating that profit is expected to exceed the ¥900 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. Meanwhile, its full-year ordinary profit forecast was held at the previous forecast of ¥2.56 billion.
On 15 October, Sugimoto & Co. revised its consolidated ordinary profit forecast for the cumulative second quarter of fiscal 2027 ending March (April-September) upward from the previous forecast of ¥810 million to ¥1.31 billion. Ordinary profit for the same period of the previous year was ¥900 million, and first-half ordinary profit is now expected to increase, reversing the previous outlook.
Following the revision, the ordinary profit forecast for the current fiscal year remains unchanged at the previous forecast of ¥2.56 billion. The factors cited as reasons for the revision include stronger-than-expected demand in AI- and semiconductor-related fields and solid demand for capital investment, together with trends in sales and expenses.
The article also states that selling, general and administrative expenses remained below the initial forecast, partly because business efficiency improved as operations of the new core system introduced in January 2025 became established.
