MARUWA Co., Ltd. (5344) on Oct. 27 again raised its full-year forecast, lifting operating profit for the year ending March 2027 by 13.6% to ¥38.3 billion from ¥33.7 billion and sales by 8.8% to ¥101.5 billion, as it reported record first-half sales and profits.

FY sales forecast¥101.5 billion (prev. ¥93.3 billion)
FY net profit forecast¥26.0 billion

The revised outlook replaces a forecast issued on July 29, 2026, which gave figures only for sales and operating profit. The new forecast adds ordinary profit of ¥38.3 billion, net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥26.0 billion and earnings per share of ¥2,106.86. Compared with results for the year ended March 2026, it represents increases of 36.3% in sales, 53.3% in operating profit and 43.1% in net profit.

The company said it expects strong second-half demand for next-generation high-speed communications, while differentiated products for new energy vehicles are expanding and demand for general-purpose memory is holding steady. New buildings at its Seto plant for communications products and its Toki plant for automotive products will begin operating in the second half to raise output. The forecast assumes an exchange rate of ¥158 to the dollar.
