Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from Chino Corporation ( (JP:6850) ) is now available.

Chino Corporation reported consolidated net sales of ¥21.3 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, up 9.2% year on year, with operating profit rising 16% to ¥1.65 billion and ordinary profit up 9.3% to ¥1.73 billion, while profit attributable to owners of parent slipped 4.8% to ¥919 million. The company maintained a solid financial position with total assets of ¥38.8 billion and an equity ratio of 57.6%, confirmed an unchanged dividend forecast, and reiterated full-year guidance calling for modest growth in sales and profits, factoring in a recent 2-for-1 share split and a board-approved share buyback that will influence per-share metrics.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Chino projects net sales of ¥30.0 billion, operating profit of ¥2.9 billion, and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥2.0 billion, implying low single-digit percentage increases over the prior year. The combination of continued revenue growth, stable margins, and shareholder-return measures such as dividends and treasury share repurchases underscores management’s intent to balance business expansion with capital efficiency, which may support valuation but leaves earnings growth at a measured pace amid a steady operating environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6850) stock is a Buy with a Yen1687.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Chino Corporation stock, see the JP:6850 Stock Forecast page.
