CREEK & RIVER Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4763) ) has shared an update.
CREEK & RIVER revised its full-year consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026, projecting net sales of ¥61.3 billion, above its earlier target, driven by solid performance in core creative and medical businesses and strong results at the recently consolidated Takahashi Shoten Group. While operating and ordinary profit are expected to come in slightly below the initial forecast due to accelerated investment in expanding game-related studio functions, profit attributable to owners of parent is now seen significantly higher, supported by lower tax expenses tied to the Takahashi Shoten acquisition and substantial extraordinary income from a government employment-creation subsidy.
Reflecting this improved bottom line and its policy of balancing shareholder returns with growth investment, the company raised its year-end dividend forecast from ¥45 to ¥50 per share, up from ¥41 in the previous year. The move signals management’s confidence in earnings quality even after excluding the impact of the subsidy and underscores a commitment to a roughly 30% payout ratio, which is likely to be welcomed by shareholders amid the company’s ongoing expansion in growth areas such as games.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4763) stock is a Buy with a Yen1571.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CREEK & RIVER Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4763 Stock Forecast page.
