Aichi Corporation Posts Steady Earnings, Boosts Dividend and Targets Modest Growth

Aichi Corporation ( (JP:6345) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Aichi Corporation reported consolidated net sales of ¥59.6 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, edging up 0.5% year on year, with operating profit rising 1.0% to ¥7.5 billion while ordinary profit slipped slightly and profit attributable to owners of parent increased 5.1%. Despite higher earnings per share, total assets and equity declined, cash and cash equivalents fell sharply due mainly to substantial financing outflows, and the equity ratio eased, signaling a leaner balance sheet.

The company maintained an aggressive shareholder-return stance, lifting the annual dividend to ¥60 per share and forecasting a further increase to ¥65 in the next fiscal year, implying a payout ratio in the low 60% range. For the year ending March 31, 2027, Aichi projects net sales growth of 5.7% and modest profit gains, suggesting steady but unspectacular expansion as it balances investment, capital structure adjustments and consistent dividends for shareholders.
