Ebara Foods raises annual net profit forecast to ¥1.5 billion
Ebara Foods raised its consolidated net profit forecast for the year ending March 2027 by ¥500 million to ¥1.5 billion, still down 16% from the previous year. Strong hot-pot seasoning and overseas product sales supported the upgrade, but domestic manufacturing restructuring costs and higher raw material prices are expected to weigh on earnings. The company now forecasts revenue of ¥50.9 billion and operating profit of ¥2.1 billion.
