Atrae, Inc. (TSE:6194) has revised upward its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026, while trimming revenue guidance, and announced a dividend increase.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 8.60bn | JPY 8.25bn | -4.1% |
| 株式報酬控除前営業利益 | JPY 1.59bn | JPY 1.69bn | +6.3% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 1.30bn | JPY 1.40bn | +7.7% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 1.24bn | JPY 1.34bn | +7.5% |
| Net Profit | JPY 908M | JPY 966M | +6.4% |
| EPS | JPY 40.69/share | JPY 43.29/share | +JPY 2.60/share |
The company lowered revenue guidance by JPY 350M to JPY 8.25bn, citing slower-than-expected product improvements at its Green division. However, Wevox—the company’s higher-margin business—exceeded expectations by securing more profitable contracts through SMBC Wevox Co., Ltd., offsetting the revenue decline. Operating profit rose JPY 100M to JPY 1.40bn as improved profitability and disciplined cost management more than compensated for lower sales.
Atrae raised its annual dividend by JPY 6 per share to JPY 74/share, reflecting confidence in operational execution. The revised payout ratio stands at 85.5%, balancing shareholder returns with reinvestment. Management expects return on equity to exceed the 20% target despite the revenue headwind, underscoring improved capital efficiency across the portfolio.
