consensus estimate: ¥46.6 billion). We watch for revisions to FY2026 JPMorgan Securities Japan Co., Ltd.

operating profit guidance. We think Asics could raise initial guidance for

operating profit of ¥171.0 billion to a level above the consensus estimate

(Bloomberg: ¥183.4 billion). If there is a positive impact from tariff refunds,

this would create further earnings upside. However, we believe the equity

market focuses on organic growth excluding tariff refunds.
