Tenox Corporation Raises Earnings & Dividend Forecast on Efficiency Gains

Tenox Corporation (TSE:1905) has raised its earnings and dividend guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2026, citing improved construction efficiency and cost discipline despite a modest revenue decline.

The company trimmed its revenue forecast to JPY 21.1bn from JPY 21.5bn, reflecting delays in the start of certain large-scale construction projects. However, operating profit surged 42.2% to JPY 1.28bn and ordinary income (keijo rieki)—a Japan-specific metric encompassing operating profit plus non-operating items—climbed 40.0% to JPY 1.33bn. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders jumped 43.1% to JPY 930M. Management attributed the profit expansion to enhanced construction efficiency and a reassessment of selling, general and administrative expenses that eliminated certain anticipated outlays.

The company raised its annual dividend to JPY 60.50 per share from JPY 52.00, a 16.3% increase, with the year-end dividend component rising to JPY 34.50 from JPY 26.00. The revision aligns with Tenox’s stated capital allocation policy, which targets a dividend on equity (DOE) of 3.0% based on consolidated earnings. The earnings-per-share forecast climbed 42.7% to JPY 139.73.

The revision demonstrates management’s confidence in operational improvements offsetting near-term revenue headwinds, while the substantial dividend increase signals commitment to shareholder returns despite softer top-line growth.
