Monogatari Posts Double-Digit Growth as Restaurant Network Expands in 2026 Monogatari reported strong double-digit year-on-year growth in both sales and customer numbers for the year to June 2026, supported by higher traffic and expansion across its Yakiniku King, Yuzuan, and Marugen Ramen restaurant network.
The company also recorded moderate but positive gains at existing restaurants, pointing to improved store-level productivity alongside the rollout of new locations, which expands its operational footprint.
Monogatari’s stock last traded at ¥4,985, with the share price up 15.4% year to date, reflecting recent market interest in the company.
This mix of network expansion and better performance from existing sites indicates that Monogatari is growing through both scale and productivity. Investors still need to weigh execution risks such as integration of new stores, cost control, and how demand holds up across its different restaurant brands. Announcement • Jun 17
