Hokushin Co. Swings to Profit on Rising Revenue

A 7 percent revenue increase propelled Hokushin Co. Ltd. into the black for the first half of the fiscal year ending September 30. The company reported a net profit of 122 million yen, a sharp recovery from the 90 million yen loss recorded during the same period in 2025.

The Tokyo-listed manufacturer posted revenue of 5.43 billion yen, up from 5.07 billion yen a year prior. This top-line growth translated into an operating profit of 182 million yen, contrasting with the 132 million yen operating loss reported in the previous year. Pretax profit followed a similar trajectory, reaching 183 million yen compared to the prior year's 131 million yen deficit.

Earnings per share rose to 4.31 yen, up from a loss of 3.20 yen per share. While the company has opted to skip a midyear dividend, it maintains a forecast of a 2.00 yen per share payout at the fiscal year-end. These results, prepared under Japanese accounting standards, reflect a stabilized financial position as the firm pivots away from last year's losses.
