AOKI Holdings' April–September net profit falls 75%; full-year sales forecast cut
AOKI Holdings announced April–September 2026 net profit of ¥466 million, down 75% year on year, as poor weather weighed on fashion-store traffic and summer clothing sales. Revenue fell 1% to ¥83.3 billion and operating profit dropped 51% to ¥1.9 billion. The company cut its sales forecast for the year ending March 2027 by ¥1 billion to ¥199 billion, while retaining operating-profit and net-profit forecasts of ¥18 billion and ¥10 billion, respectively, as selling and administrative expenses ran below plan.
