Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Asteria Corporation ( (JP:3853) ) has provided an announcement.

Asteria Corporation reported consolidated revenue of ¥2.46 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, up 5.4% year on year, with operating profit surging 170.9% to ¥935 million. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent jumped 220.9% to ¥737 million, lifting basic earnings per share to ¥44.59 and driving comprehensive income to ¥1.23 billion.

Total assets rose to ¥9.56 billion and total equity to ¥7.27 billion, though the equity ratio eased slightly to 74.2% as treasury stock increased. The company kept its full-year forecast unchanged, targeting revenue of ¥3.5 billion, operating profit of ¥900 million, and net profit attributable to owners of ¥700 million, and plans to raise the annual dividend to ¥9 per share, underscoring confidence in earnings growth and ongoing shareholder returns.

The company’s continued profitability and higher dividend forecast highlight strengthened financial resilience and an intent to reward investors, even as it manages a modest dilution in equity ratio. Stable accounting policies and no changes in the scope of consolidation suggest that earnings gains are being driven by underlying business performance rather than one-off structural shifts.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3853) stock is a Buy with a Yen1715.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Asteria Corporation stock, see the JP:3853 Stock Forecast page.
