Sekisui Jushi Raises FY2027 Net Profit 22.7%, Boosts Annual Dividend to JPY 100/share
Sekisui Jushi Corporation (TSE:4212) has raised its earnings and dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2027, driven by stronger-than-expected gains from the sale of strategic shareholdings.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 37.0bn | JPY 37.0bn | +0.0% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 1.74bn | JPY 1.74bn | +0.0% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 1.90bn | JPY 2.00bn | +5.3% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する中間純利益 | JPY 1.40bn | JPY 2.15bn | +53.6% |
| １株当たり中間純利益 | JPY 47M | JPY 72M | +53.5% |
The company maintained its full-year revenue and operating profit guidance at JPY 84.0bn and JPY 6.30bn respectively, reflecting steady first-quarter performance. However, the company now expects net profit attributable to parent shareholders to reach JPY 5.40bn, up 22.7% from the prior forecast of JPY 4.40bn. The revision reflects accelerated progress in reducing strategic shareholdings as part of capital efficiency improvements, generating larger-than-anticipated gains on sales. Earnings per share is projected at JPY 180.08, compared with the earlier estimate of JPY 146.83. The company assumes continued geopolitical risks in the Middle East and elsewhere.
The dividend increase underscores management’s commitment to shareholder returns and capital optimization. The interim dividend rises to JPY 56 per share from JPY 46, while the year-end dividend increases to JPY 44 from JPY 36, bringing the full-year payout to JPY 100 per share—marking the 18th consecutive year of dividend growth. The upward revision of ordinary income (keijo rieki), a Japan-specific profit metric that includes non-operating items, to JPY 2.00bn signals improved financial performance beyond core operations.
