Nishi-Nippon Railroad raised its consolidated net profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 by ¥6 billion to ¥31 billion, marking a 49% increase from the previous year and a record high. The revision reflects gains from the partial sale of trust beneficiary rights tied to a mixed-use development in Fukuoka’s Daimyo district, as well as stronger-than-expected housing prices in overseas markets including Vietnam. Operating revenue is expected to rise 7% to ¥472.7 billion, slightly below earlier projections due to postponed condominium sales in the Tokyo area. For April–December 2025, net profit surged 72% year-on-year to ¥27.8 billion, supported by extraordinary gains and growth in international logistics. Source: Nikkei / Nishitetsu Group
