Wakou Shokuhin Co.,Ltd. [2813.T]
TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Wakou Shokuhin Co., Ltd. reported robust sales growth for its fiscal year ending March 2026, driven by strong performance in the foodservice sector and successful product launches.
Operating profit increased due to higher-margin products and improved production efficiency during peak seasons. The company also raised its dividend forecast for the year, increasing the annual payout per share from ¥86 to ¥100. In the domestic market, the company benefited from stable conditions in the foodservice industry and effective marketing campaigns.
New product introductions and enhanced profitability contributed to the overall positive trend. Meanwhile, the North American segment saw a recovery in orders post-inventory adjustments but did not fully offset initial declines.

The company remains committed to balancing investment in future growth with shareholder returns.
