Daiichikosho Grows Sales but Profit Slips as It Boosts Dividend and Keeps Forecasts

Daiichikosho Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7458) ) has issued an announcement.

Daiichikosho Co., Ltd. reported consolidated net sales of ¥122.4 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, up 7.0% year on year, while operating profit fell 3.8% to ¥13.8 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent dropped 28.6% to ¥9.6 billion. The company’s equity ratio improved to 59.4% as total assets declined, and it plans a higher full-year dividend of ¥67.00 per share, including a 55th anniversary commemorative payout, even as it forecasts modest full-year profit contraction despite sales growth.

For the full year ending March 31, 2026, Daiichikosho maintains its forecast of ¥162.7 billion in net sales, a 6.3% increase, with operating profit expected to edge up 0.3% to ¥18.0 billion and ordinary profit to rise 2.2% to ¥18.8 billion. Profit attributable to owners of parent is projected to decline 15.3% to ¥15.4 billion, suggesting that while topline momentum in its karaoke and related businesses remains solid, profitability is under pressure, a dynamic that shareholders will weigh against the enhanced dividend and stronger balance sheet metrics.
