UEX Co., Ltd. (TSE:98880) revised its earnings and dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (FY2026), citing weaker-than-expected demand in its stainless steel and other metal materials business.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 49.7–55.0bn | JPY 49.6bn | JPY -0.1bn to -5.4bn (-0.2–-9.8%) |
| Operating Profit | JPY 1.10–1.40bn | JPY 1.25bn | within guidance range |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 1.00–1.30bn | JPY 1.18bn | within guidance range |
| Net Profit | JPY 0.60–0.70bn | JPY 0.60bn | at lower end of guidance |
| EPS | JPY 54.45–63.52 per share | JPY 54.45 per share | - |
| Year-end Dividend | Undetermined | JPY 7.00 per share | Undetermined→JPY 7.00 per share |
| Annual Dividend | Undetermined | JPY 22.00 per share | Undetermined→JPY 22.00 per share (Interim Dividend JPY 15.00 + Year-end Dividend JPY 7.00) |
The revision reflects prolonged inventory adjustments in the stainless steel and metal materials segment, which led to revenue falling below the previously stated range. Operating profit and ordinary income are expected to remain in line with prior forecasts due to strong performance in the high-margin engineering business.
The company confirmed a year-end dividend of JPY 7.00 per share, with an annual dividend of JPY 22.00 per share, combining the interim and year-end payments. The final dividend decision will be made at the annual shareholders’ meeting.
