- Fiscal-year sales guidance stands at JPY 280.0 billion, with operating profit guidance of JPY 8.20 billion.

Toho (ISIN JP3553200001) reported first-half net income of JPY 2.37 billion, up 32.30 percent from JPY 1.79 billion a year earlier. JPX Market Explorer dated the results September 13, 2026, for the half year ended July 31, 2026.
Half-year sales accelerated
Toho's first-half sales reached JPY 136.46 billion, compared with JPY 123.09 billion a year earlier. That represents growth of 10.86 percent, while basic earnings per share rose to JPY 74.36 from JPY 55.78, according to JPX Market Explorer.
The latest reported period therefore combines double-digit sales growth with a larger increase in net income. For a food distributor operating on thin margins, the earnings comparison is more important than the sales figure alone.
What does the guidance mean?
On September 11, 2026, Toho revised fiscal-year sales guidance for the year ending January 31, 2027, to JPY 280.0 billion. The same guidance set operating profit at JPY 8.20 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent at JPY 4.80 billion, figures reported by JPX Market Explorer.
The operating-profit guidance implies a margin of 2.93 percent against the sales target. That calculation highlights the central sensitivity for Toho stock: modest changes in costs or product mix can have a material effect on profit even while revenue expands.
Three dated company signals
On September 11, 2026, Toho reported August sales of JPY 24.02 billion, equal to 107.90 percent of the prior-year month. On the same date, it announced a second-quarter dividend of JPY 30.00 per share, compared with JPY 75.00 a year earlier. The September 13, 2026 half-year report then showed JPY 136.46 billion in sales and JPY 2.37 billion in net income, making the earnings release the latest of the three signals, according to JPX Market Explorer.
Next dated shareholder payment
The next dated item is October 20, 2026, when Toho is scheduled to begin paying the JPY 30.00 second-quarter dividend announced on September 11, 2026, according to JPX Market Explorer.
