Three results milestones from October 8

On October 8, 2026, Fast Retailing reported fiscal 2026 revenue of JPY 3.9633 trillion, an increase of 16.60 percent from the prior year. Business profit reached JPY 718.4 billion, up 30.40 percent, and profit attributable to owners of the parent rose 25.30 percent to JPY 542.5 billion.

The same October 8 release set the fiscal 2027 revenue outlook at JPY 4.4500 trillion, an increase of 12.30 percent, and business profit at JPY 830.0 billion, up 15.50 percent. Profit attributable to owners of the parent is forecast at JPY 560.0 billion, a more modest increase of 3.20 percent.

Fast Retailing also forecast a fiscal 2027 annual dividend of JPY 900 per share, compared with JPY 850 for fiscal 2026. Kabutan reported on October 8, 2026 that the forecast comprised interim and year-end payments of JPY 450 each.

What does the outlook mean for growth?

The growth engine is increasingly international. In fiscal 2026, UNIQLO International revenue rose 26.20 percent to JPY 2.4111 trillion, while business profit advanced 44.10 percent to JPY 439.8 billion, according to the October 8 release. North America revenue increased 34.60 percent to JPY 364.9 billion and Europe revenue climbed 38.70 percent to JPY 512.6 billion.

The counterweight is margin sensitivity. Fast Retailing said the expected weakening of the yen in procurement forward contracts would pressure the UNIQLO Japan cost ratio in fiscal 2027, even as international operations are expected to deliver double-digit revenue and profit growth.

Next milestones through August 2027

Fast Retailing plans to reach 3,545 stores by the end of August 2027, including 1,752 UNIQLO International stores and 782 UNIQLO Japan stores, per the October 8 release. The fiscal 2027 reporting period ends on August 31, 2027.
