Zojirushi revises upward financial forecast, increases interim and year-end dividends

Zojirushi Corporation (TSE: 7965) has announced revisions to its financial results forecast for the fiscal year ending November 20, 2025, alongside increases to both interim and year-end dividends. The company’s operating profit forecast increased by 21.7% to JPY7,000 million, with ordinary profit up 16.3% to JPY7,500 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent increasing 15.3% to JPY4,800 million. The upward revision, driven by strong performance in Japan, particularly sales of high-end rice cookers and humidifiers, also reflects effective measures to offset increased import costs from yen depreciation.
