KDDI Posts Solid H1 Growth on Mobile Service Price Revisions

KDDI Corporation reported for the first half of fiscal year 2026 (April–September 2025) that consolidated operating revenue rose by 3.8% year‑on‑year to ¥2,963.2 billion, while profit attributable to owners increased by 7.6% to ¥377.7 billion. The company attributes the revenue and profit uptick to the impact of mobile service price revisions and improving brand‑mix trends. Mobile operating income climbed quarterly, with Q2 showing significant quarter‑on‑quarter gains after promotional expenses from the prior year’s period ended. Looking ahead, KDDI is forecasting accelerated growth in the second half of the year, driven by expanded 5G and IoT efforts, a shift toward AI‑enabled services, and a disciplined capital allocation strategy focused on shareholder returns. #KDDI #TelecomJapan #Q2Earnings #GrowthStrategy #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
