Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Chuetsu Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd. ( (JP:3877) ) has issued an announcement.

Chuetsu Pulp & Paper reported fiscal 2026 consolidated net sales of ¥110.4 billion, down slightly year on year, while operating and ordinary profit fell sharply as margins weakened, but profit attributable to owners of parent jumped 38.6% to ¥2.44 billion and comprehensive income more than doubled. The company strengthened its financial position with higher net assets and an improved equity ratio, cut year-end cash balances as operating cash flow declined, raised the annual dividend from ¥70 to ¥90 per share with a further increase forecast for fiscal 2027, but projected modest sales growth alongside double-digit declines in profits, signaling continued earnings pressure despite enhanced shareholder returns.
