IG Port, Inc. Revises Earnings & Dividend — 50% EPS Cut

IG Port, Inc. (TSE:3791) has cut its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending May 2026, citing delays in video production and weakness in domestic e-commerce sales.

The Tokyo-listed content and publishing company revised net profit attributable to parent company shareholders to JPY 8M per share from JPY 17M, a 50% reduction. Publishing and intellectual property licensing operations performed as expected, but video production delays and lower-than-anticipated domestic e-commerce revenue in the merchandise sales division offset gains. Management also cited revisions to gross margins in video production and provisions for order losses as headwinds to profitability.

The dividend forecast has been adjusted downward in line with the company’s medium-term capital allocation policy, which targets a consolidated payout ratio of approximately 25%. The revised payout will reflect results disclosed in the earnings flash report (kessan tanshin), the preliminary earnings announcement filed with the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The revision underscores widening performance divergence across IG Port’s business segments. While content-related divisions remain resilient, operational challenges in video production and e-commerce have materially compressed bottom-line expectations. Investors should monitor whether management can stabilize video production timelines and reverse merchandise sales momentum in coming quarters to restore confidence in near-term earnings recovery.
