The latest update is out from Create Medic Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5187) ).

Create Medic Co., Ltd. reported consolidated net sales of ¥3,364 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a 4.5% year-on-year increase, while operating profit fell 36.6% to ¥140 million and profit attributable to owners of parent declined 26.7% to ¥153 million. Despite the profit drop, the company maintains a strong financial position with an equity ratio above 80%, plans to lift its annual dividend to ¥47 per share for the 2026 fiscal year, and forecasts modest full-year growth in sales and earnings, signaling continued stability for shareholders amid a softer profit trend in the first quarter.

The company has not revised its previously announced earnings or dividend forecasts, suggesting confidence in its medium-term outlook even as near-term profitability faces pressure, which may reassure investors focusing on income and balance sheet strength.
