DAI-DAN revised its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, projecting slightly lower consolidated net sales of ¥255 billion but higher operating profit of ¥34 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥26 billion.

Alongside the earnings upgrade, DAI-DAN raised its year-end dividend forecast from ¥45 to ¥54 per share after the stock split, lifting the pre-split annual dividend equivalent from ¥217 to ¥244. Management reiterated its capital policy of maintaining a payout ratio of at least 40% and DOE of at least 4.8%, indicating a continued focus on shareholder returns backed by stronger-than-expected earnings and an improving order environment.
