Nihon M&A Center raises Q2 earnings forecast on strong performance

Nihon M&A Center Holdings revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026. The company now projects net sales of JPY22,500m, an increase from the previously announced JPY20,100m. Operating profit is expected to reach JPY8,300m, up from JPY6,800m, while ordinary profit is also projected at JPY8,300m, a rise from JPY6,800m.

The revision is attributed to a significant increase in both revenue and profit. The number of M&A agreements in the second cumulative quarter increased by 7.5% year-on-year to 488 cases. Furthermore, M&A sales per case rose by 12.6% to JPY44.6m. These improvements are credited to thorough case management from negotiation to contract, alongside strategies targeting mid-cap companies.

The company noted that there is no change to the full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
