TOKYO, May 08 (Pulse News Wire) – MTI Ltd. (9438.T) revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026, citing stronger-than-expected sales growth across several key businesses.
According to the updated projections released on May 08: For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the company now expects revenue to range from ¥31.9 million to ¥31.9 million, up from the previous estimate of ¥31.00 billion to ¥31.9 million. Operating profit is projected to increase by 25.1%, ranging from ¥2.063 billion to ¥2.163 billion compared to the earlier guidance of ¥1.650 billion to ¥1.757 billion. Net income attributable to shareholders is anticipated to rise significantly by 138.9%, ranging from ¥1.026 billion to ¥1.083 billion, compared to the prior forecast of ¥425 million to ¥530 million. Looking ahead to the full fiscal year, MTI raised its revenue outlook to between ¥61.6 million and ¥61.6 million, up from the initial projection of ¥61.6 million to ¥61.6 million. However, operating profit remains unchanged at ¥4.05 billion to ¥4.15 billion due to planned expenses related to healthcare system development and support services.
Despite this, net income is expected to improve to between ¥2.05 billion and ¥2.15 billion, reflecting higher interim performance and adjustments in investment gains. The upward revisions stem from robust sales growth in healthcare and digital transformation support services, along with increased investment returns. Additionally, the sale of VideoMarket Co., Ltd. shares to PLAY Co., Ltd. resulted in a lower than anticipated transaction price, contributing to a realized loss but also leading to tax benefits.
Management noted that while the forecasts reflect current expectations based on available data, future economic conditions and operational factors could impact actual results differently.
