Company Reports

For the first quarter of fiscal year ending March 2027, Toyo Suisan reported 7.8% sales growth and a 210-basis-point improvement in operating margins to 16.6% year over year. Overseas and domestic instant noodles grew organically in the midsingle digits, as a weaker yen lifted overseas revenue.

Toyo Suisan is pursuing growth with differentiated strategies at home in Japan and overseas. Due to differences in market maturity, we expect a faster five-year revenue CAGR for overseas markets, at 3.8%, versus 3.1% for the domestic market. Outside Japan, most notably the US and Mexico, the company is expanding production capacity and product portfolio to drive volume expansion, as there is further room for instant noodles penetration. The company already holds leading market shares in these countries, but we think growth can be maintained by optimizing product mix and introducing products that span a wider price range.
