Aucnet Inc. Revises FY2026 Earnings Upward on Strong Q1 Performance
Aucnet Inc. (TSE:3964) has raised its full-year earnings and dividend guidance for the fiscal year ending December 2026, citing better-than-expected first-quarter results across both operating segments.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 71.0bn | JPY 72.0bn | +1.4% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 11.0bn | JPY 11.5bn | +4.5% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 10.8bn | JPY 11.3bn | +4.6% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益 | JPY 7.20bn | JPY 7.50bn | +4.2% |
| １株当たり当期純利益 | JPY 79M | JPY 83M | +4.2% |
The online auction and marketplace operator raised revenue guidance by JPY 1.0bn to JPY 72.0bn and net profit by JPY 300M to JPY 7.50bn. The revision reflects robust momentum in both the Lifestyle Products and Mobility & Energy segments. In Lifestyle Products, demand for GIGAスクール (government-subsidized school) devices has accelerated, while the Mobility & Energy segment benefited from strong used-vehicle demand, with transaction volumes tracking ahead of plan. Management expects both segments to sustain growth momentum through the remainder of the fiscal year, with geopolitical headwinds in the Middle East having minimal impact on its global member network.
The company also raised its annual dividend to JPY 42.00/share from JPY 40.00/share, reflecting a 5.0% increase in both interim and year-end payouts. This adjustment aligns with management’s stated dividend payout policy of maintaining a 50%-plus payout ratio. The upward revisions signal confidence in sustained operational momentum and improved profitability, though investors should monitor segment-level performance in coming quarters to validate the full-year outlook.
