Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest update is out from Azbil Corporation ( (JP:6845) ).

Azbil Corporation reported consolidated net sales of ¥208.1 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, down 4.5% year-on-year, while operating income rose 9.1% to ¥29.2 billion and ordinary income climbed 9.5% to ¥30.7 billion, indicating improved profitability despite softer top-line performance. Net income attributable to owners of the parent fell 21.0% to ¥22.7 billion, partly reflecting the absence of prior-year one-off benefits, although comprehensive income edged up 2.7%. The company maintained a strong financial position with a high shareholders’ equity ratio of 77.8%, and confirmed its full-year forecast, projecting slightly lower net sales of ¥298.0 billion but higher operating income of ¥45.5 billion and net income of ¥33.5 billion, implying an 18.2% decline in earnings versus the previous fiscal year on a full-year basis. Azbil kept its dividend forecast unchanged at a total of ¥26.00 per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, following a 4-for-1 stock split implemented in October 2024, and has completed its share buyback and cancellation while re-adopting a trust-type employee shareholding incentive plan, signaling continued emphasis on shareholder returns and employee equity participation. The scope of consolidation expanded with the addition of Azbil Information Technology Center (Dalian) Co., Ltd., which may support the group’s IT and digital capabilities going forward.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6845) stock is a Buy with a Yen1544.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Azbil Corporation stock, see the JP:6845 Stock Forecast page.
