Kikkoman Corporation, a leading player in the food manufacturing industry, is known for its soy sauce and other food products, operating both domestically in Japan and internationally. In its latest earnings report for the first half of fiscal 2026, Kikkoman Corporation reported a slight increase in revenue to ¥358,610 million, marking a 0.9% year-on-year growth. However, the company faced declines in key profitability metrics, with business profit down by 3.2% and operating profit by 5.6%, largely due to increased costs and foreign exchange impacts. The domestic market saw growth in the Foods—Manufacturing and Sales segment, driven by increased sales in soy milk beverages and food products, while the Overseas Foods—Manufacturing and Sales segment experienced mixed results with higher revenue but lower profit margins. Looking ahead, Kikkoman Corporation remains cautiously optimistic, revising its full-year revenue forecast slightly downward while maintaining a stable outlook on profitability, reflecting the management’s strategic focus on navigating currency fluctuations and market dynamics.
