Nippon Concrete Industries Lifts Net Profit Forecast 260% on Investment Gains
Nippon Concrete Industries Co., Ltd. (TSE:5269) has revised upward its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, driven by a one-time gain from the partial sale of listed equity securities.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 26.5bn | JPY 26.5bn | +0.0% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 500M | JPY 500M | +0.0% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 900M | JPY 900M | +0.0% |
| Net Profit (interim) | JPY 500M | JPY 1.80bn | +260.0% |
| EPS (interim) | JPY 9.20/share | JPY 33.15/share | +260.3% |
The company has decided to sell a portion of its listed equity holdings, generating an expected gain of approximately JPY 1.90bn to be recorded as extraordinary income in the second quarter (interim period) ending September 2026. This aligns with the company’s policy to reduce strategic shareholdings, targeting approximately JPY 2.0bn in disposals under its medium-term management plan announced in 2024.
For the full fiscal year, the company maintained its revenue guidance at JPY 55.0bn and operating profit at JPY 1.90bn, while lifting full-year net profit to JPY 2.60bn from JPY 1.30bn—a 100% increase. Earnings per share are projected to double to JPY 47.88/share from JPY 23.94/share.
Investors should note that the revision reflects a non-recurring investment gain rather than operational improvement. Core business metrics—revenue, operating profit, and ordinary income (keijo rieki)—remain unchanged, indicating stable underlying performance. The extraordinary gain is a strategic capital allocation move and should not be extrapolated into future earnings guidance.
