Abist Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6087) ) has issued an announcement.

ABIST Co., Ltd. reported non-consolidated net sales of ¥5.61 billion for the first half of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, up 7.7% year on year, with operating profit rising 13.6% to ¥572 million and net profit jumping 37% to ¥371 million. Basic earnings per share climbed to ¥93.44, even as total assets declined slightly and the equity ratio eased to 74.4%, suggesting improved profitability despite a modest contraction in the balance sheet.

The company kept its interim dividend at zero but maintained a full-year dividend forecast of ¥102 per share, in line with the previous year, signaling continued shareholder returns. For the full fiscal year, ABIST forecasts net sales of ¥11.2 billion, but expects operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit to fall around 10–13% from the prior year, implying that the strong first-half performance may be tempered by softer conditions or higher costs in the second half.
