Aucnet, Inc. ( (JP:3964) ) has shared an announcement.
Aucnet Inc. raised its full-year 2026 consolidated earnings forecast, now projecting higher net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of parent than previously expected, driven by strong performances in its Lifestyle Products and Mobility & Energy segments. Increased handling of GIGA School terminals and sustained demand for used vehicles boosted results in the first quarter, and management expects steady growth to continue, with limited impact so far from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, underscoring Aucnet’s robust business model and international network.
In line with the stronger earnings outlook, Aucnet revised its annual dividend forecast for 2026 to ¥42 per share, up from ¥40, following a recent two-for-one share split. The company reiterated that shareholder returns remain a top management priority, maintaining a policy of continuous dividends with a target consolidated payout ratio of at least 50 percent, while preserving internal reserves to fund future business development and capital investment.
