Abist Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6087) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Abist Co., Ltd. reported solid non-consolidated results for the first half of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, with net sales rising 7.7% year on year to ¥5.61 billion and operating profit up 13.6% to ¥572 million. Ordinary profit climbed 12.3% to ¥578 million, while profit surged 37.0% to ¥371 million, boosting basic earnings per share to ¥93.44 and underscoring improved profitability despite a slight decline in the equity ratio.

The company maintained its dividend stance, having paid no interim dividend but forecasting a full-year payout of ¥102 per share, in line with the prior year, signaling ongoing emphasis on shareholder returns. For the full fiscal year, Abist projects net sales of ¥11.2 billion, a 5.4% increase, but expects declines in operating and ordinary profit as well as net profit, suggesting a more cautious second half and indicating that margin pressure or higher costs could temper the strong first-half momentum.
