NH Foods stock was quoted at JPY 1,984.0 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, down 0.65 percent for the session. The company enters the next reporting phase with higher sales but a lower quarterly profit.

Q1 revenue expands by 8.70 percent

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, NH Foods reported revenue of JPY 384.95 billion, compared with JPY 354.14 billion a year earlier. The Globe and Mail published the comparison in its October 3, 2026 report on NH Foods.

The increase is equivalent to 8.70 percent year over year, while the company continued to operate in a low-margin food manufacturing business. NH Foods' latest investor-relations materials identify the June quarter as the first quarter of fiscal 2027. NH Foods lists the fiscal 2027 first-quarter results among its latest IR materials.

Profit remains the pressure point

Quarterly net profit was JPY 10.77 billion, down from JPY 11.42 billion in the same period a year earlier. The 5.69 percent decline means that sales growth did not translate into higher bottom-line earnings.

Reported earnings per share were JPY 114.46 against a consensus estimate of JPY 115.46. The small miss places more weight on margin development and the company's ability to convert revenue growth into profit in the remaining fiscal quarters.

Analyst target stays below the quote

The Globe and Mail reported on October 3, 2026 that Morgan Stanley maintained a Sell rating and a JPY 1,900.00 price target. The target is 4.24 percent below the October 5 Tokyo quote, while the published consensus was Hold with an average target of EUR 12.95.

Tokyo quote remains below yearly high
