KEL Raises FY27 Interim Revenue Forecast Amid Strong Sales Growth

TOKYO, Aug 07 (Pulse News Wire) – KEL Corporation (6919.T) revised its fiscal 2027 interim earnings forecast upward due to strong sales growth across key markets. The company increased its revenue projection for the six months ending September 30, 2026, from ¥6.800 billion to ¥7 billion, marking a 2.9% rise.

Operating profit was also raised from ¥80 million to ¥140 million, reflecting a significant 75% increase compared to previous estimates. The improved outlook stems from robust performance in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, FA machinery, and medical devices such as ultrasonic endoscopes and diagnostic systems. Despite rising raw material costs, KEL's industrial machinery division saw steady expansion, driving higher profitability through revenue mix improvements and cost efficiencies.

For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, KEL now projects consolidated revenue of ¥13.80 billion, up from ¥13.60 billion previously. The adjusted forecast reflects anticipated continued momentum in core segments and strategic efficiency initiatives aimed at bolstering long-term competitiveness. Management emphasized that while the updated figures represent current expectations based available data, actual results could vary significantly due to external factors affecting the business environment.
