Charm Care Corporation Raises FY2026 Earnings Forecast 15.5%, Boosts Dividend 16.2%

Charm Care Corporation (TSE:6062) has raised its full-year earnings and dividend guidance for the fiscal year ending June 2026, citing stronger-than-expected performance in its care business and confirmed timing on a real estate sale transaction.

RevenueJPY 48.6bnJPY 48.8bn+0.4%
Operating ProfitJPY 4.46bnJPY 5.15bn+15.5%
Ordinary IncomeJPY 4.62bnJPY 5.33bn+15.5%
Net Income (Attributable to Parent)JPY 3.09bnJPY 3.57bn+15.5%
Net Income per ShareJPY 94.59/shareJPY 109.25/share+15.5%

The company attributed the upward revision to two primary drivers. First, a real estate sale project has now reached contract execution with confirmed settlement timing, allowing management to calculate its full-year impact with greater certainty. Second, the care operations division has exceeded profit targets through productivity improvements, delivering results ahead of plan. Based on the higher net profit forecast, Charm Care increased its annual dividend to JPY 43.00 per share from JPY 37.00, representing a 16.2% increase and reflecting a payout ratio of 39.4% in line with the company’s capital allocation framework.

The revision underscores improving operational efficiency in Charm Care’s core care business alongside one-time gains from asset optimization. The 15.5% upward adjustment to operating profit, ordinary income (keijo rieki), and net profit signals management confidence in underlying business momentum. The dividend raise demonstrates balanced capital return to shareholders while maintaining financial stability. International investors should note that ordinary income in Japan includes non-operating items such as interest and investment income, distinguishing it from operating profit alone.
