Ezaki Glico stock (ISIN JP3161200005) was last at JPY 5,013 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 11:19 a.m. JST, down 0.30 percent from the prior close of JPY 5,028. The latest company outlook revision points to higher sales but sharply lower profit expectations for fiscal year 2026.

Sales rise while profit falls

According to Investing.com, revenue in Q2 2026 reached JPY 95.09 billion, compared with JPY 85.277 billion in Q1. That represents an 11.5 percent quarter-over-quarter increase.

The earnings mix was less favorable. Net income fell to JPY 1.39 billion from JPY 3.583 billion in Q1, a decline of 61.2 percent. The contrast between rising sales and weaker quarterly profit gives investors a sharper test for the revised full-year outlook.

August guidance reset changes the story

AInvest reported on September 19, 2026 that Ezaki Glico raised its fiscal year 2026 sales forecast to JPY 390 billion but cut operating profit to JPY 12 billion and net income to JPY 9 billion. The article attributed the revision to slower domestic profit improvement and delays in new product development and launches.

MarketScreener lists the half-year results and the revised consolidated earnings guidance among Ezaki Glico announcements dated August 5, 2026. The revised sales target sits above the JPY 361.4 billion reported for fiscal year 2025, while the profit forecast reflects the cost of restoring growth.

Analysts keep a cautious view

The consensus remains cautious. According to Investing.com, two analysts rate the stock Sell, with an average 12-month target of JPY 3,900, a high target of JPY 4,200 and a low target of JPY 3,600. The target range sits below the October 7 market price, making execution on the revised profit plan central to the valuation debate.

Stock remains above its yearly low

Ezaki Glico's JPY 5,013 price on October 7, 2026 stood within a 52-week range of JPY 4,685 to JPY 6,290. Market capitalization was JPY 307.3 billion and volume was 41,800 shares on the same date.

Ezaki Glico will publish its next earnings report on November 6, 2026. For investors, the key checkpoint is whether the higher sales trajectory begins to translate into the operating profit recovery promised by the revised plan.
