Mars Group Holdings Corporation [6419.T]

TOKYO, Apr 13 (Pulse News Wire) – Mars Group Holdings Corporation (6419.T) revised its fiscal year 2026 (FY26) earnings forecast due to rising costs and cautious investment sentiment in the pachinko sector. The company reduced its revenue projection from ¥37.50 billion to ¥32.25 billion, marking a decrease of ¥--¥5.250 billion, or 14%.

Operating profit was also cut from ¥10.70 billion to ¥8.700 billion, representing an 18.7% decline. Similarly, ordinary profit dropped from ¥11.50 billion to ¥9.550 billion, down 17%, while net income per share remained unchanged at ¥355.0 million. Cost increases, particularly in personnel expenses and utilities, along with higher equipment costs, have strained the profitability of pachinko parlors.

Despite efforts to boost sales through total system solutions, the company expects revenues and profits to fall below initial forecasts. Notably, the dividend outlook remains unchanged according to the original plan. The revised figures reflect current available data but carry uncertainties.

Actual results may differ from these projections.
