The latest update is out from Aiphone Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6718) ).
Aiphone reported fiscal 2026 consolidated net sales of ¥62.98 billion, essentially flat year on year, while operating profit dropped 26.5% to ¥2.80 billion and profit attributable to owners fell 31.9% to ¥2.47 billion, compressing margins and return on equity. Despite weaker earnings and lower operating cash flow, total assets and net assets both increased, equity ratio remained high at 87.6%, and the company maintained its annual dividend at ¥130 per share, raising the payout ratio and signaling a continued commitment to shareholder returns.
For the fiscal year ending March 2027, Aiphone forecasts a recovery with net sales expected to rise 4.5% to ¥65.8 billion and operating profit to jump 42.7% to ¥4.0 billion, lifting projected earnings per share to ¥195.52. Management notes that these forecasts do not factor in potential cost pressures from rising parts prices linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, leaving some uncertainty around profitability and underscoring external risks that could affect future performance and stakeholder outcomes.
