Aichi Steel Corporation ( (JP:5482) ) has shared an update.
Aichi Steel reported consolidated revenue of ¥304.3 billion for the year ended 31 March 2026, up 1.7% year on year, with operating profit surging 44.6% to ¥17.4 billion and profit attributable to owners jumping 43.8% to ¥11.2 billion. Margins and returns improved, as operating profit to revenue rose to 5.7% and ROE reached 4.8%, while equity attributable to owners increased and the equity ratio edged up to 59.2%, underscoring a stronger balance sheet.
The company also announced a robust dividend policy, paying a total annual dividend of ¥145 per share for FY2026, largely supported by special dividends, and targeting ¥150 per share for FY2027 after a 4-for-1 stock split. This signals an aggressive stance on shareholder returns, with the FY2026 payout ratio at 85% and dividend-on-equity ratio rising, which may appeal to income-focused investors but leaves less room for cash accumulation despite healthy operating cash flows.
