Q1 profit up but full-year guidance implies slower growth, and stock fell to month low.
Shimamura shares fell to their lowest level in the past month. The closing price on August 20, 2026 was 3,290 yen, down nearly 8% from the late-July high of 3,571 yen. First-quarter revenue for the fiscal year ending February 2027 was 181.6 billion yen, up 7.9% year on year, while operating profit rose 16.8% to 17.8 billion yen, with profit growth outpacing revenue growth. Full-year guidance calls for revenue of 729.1 billion yen, up 4.2%, and operating profit of 66.8 billion yen, up 8.7%, meaning the company is not simply extending the first quarter's momentum through the full year. At current levels, the stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio in the 14 times range and a price-to-book ratio in the 1.3 times range, reflecting the company's full-year net profit per share forecast of 227.92 yen.
