About this listen
The Nissin Foods Group was founded in 1958, when its founder, Momofuku Ando, invented the world’s first instant noodles, Chicken Ramen. Guided by the belief that “peace in society comes only when people are well fed,” the Group operates under the vision of “EARTH FOOD CREATOR,” contributing to society and the planet through food.
The core of its business is instant noodles, with strong brand power both in Japan and overseas, led by Cup Noodles. The Group has also expanded into frozen and chilled foods, confectionery, and beverages, while strengthening overseas operations as its next growth driver.
In addition, under “EARTH FOOD CHALLENGE 2030,” the Group is promoting initiatives such as CO₂ reduction and the adoption of environmentally friendly packaging. By emphasizing food safety, health-conscious products, and human resource development, it aims for sustainable growth.
Below is the outlook for the second half and full fiscal year ending March 2026 (as of the second quarter):
- Second-half performance outlook: Traditionally, Nissin’s results have been stronger in the first half and weaker in the second half; however, for the current fiscal year, profitability is expected to remain solid in the second half. Specifically, performance is projected to progress steadily in the third quarter and recover significantly in the fourth quarter.
- Downward revision of full-year forecasts: Based on first-half results and the second-half outlook, full-year forecasts have been revised downward as follows:
- Revenue: ¥792.0 billion (down 2.2% from the initial forecast)
- Core operating profit of existing businesses: ¥68.5 billion (down 18.1% from the initial forecast)
- Net profit: ¥43.0 billion (down 18.9% from the initial forecast; improved from the previously expected 23.2% decline)
