Kewpie stock is backed by Q2 2026 revenue of JPY 136.94 billion and net income of JPY 7.82 billion, giving investors a fresh test of the food group's earnings momentum. Kewpie identifies the period as the second quarter of the fiscal year ending November 2026.
Profit growth leads the results
According to Investing.com, quarterly revenue rose from JPY 124.70 billion in the previous quarter to JPY 136.94 billion in Q2 2026, an increase of 9.81 percent. Net income advanced from JPY 5.39 billion to JPY 7.82 billion over the same comparison, up 45.03 percent.
The earnings mix matters because the profit increase was faster than sales growth. The latest quarter also delivered adjusted earnings per share of JPY 56.99, compared with a forecast of JPY 37.29, while revenue of JPY 136.94 billion was close to the JPY 136.98 billion forecast reported by Investing.com.
Analyst target stays above the market
The valuation gap is visible in the analyst data. Investing.com lists an average 12-month target of JPY 5,087.50 from eight analysts, with five Buy ratings, three Holds and zero Sells.
JPMorgan maintained a Buy rating and a JPY 5,800.00 target on September 2, 2026, according to Investing.com. The average target stands 15.44 percent above the Tokyo Stock Exchange price of JPY 4,407.00 on September 29, 2026, while JPMorgan's target is 31.50 percent higher.
