Daiki Axis Posts Lower Q1 Profit but Keeps 2026 Forecasts and Dividend Plan Intact

Daiki Axis Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4245) ) has shared an update.

Daiki Axis reported consolidated net sales of ¥13.28 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up 3.7% year on year, while operating profit fell 16.6% to ¥619 million and profit attributable to owners of parent declined 13.6% to ¥390 million, indicating margin pressure despite modest top-line growth. The company’s financial position improved slightly with total assets rising to ¥39.04 billion and the equity ratio edging up to 25.7%, and it maintained its full-year forecast of ¥50 billion in net sales and ¥1.45 billion in operating profit along with an unchanged annual dividend outlook of ¥24 per share, signaling confidence in meeting its 2026 targets despite weaker quarterly earnings.

For fiscal 2026, Daiki Axis projects 3.5% revenue growth and a 14% increase in operating profit compared with the previous year, aiming for ¥540 million in profit attributable to owners of parent and basic earnings per share of ¥40.70. The absence of changes to its earnings and dividend forecasts suggests management expects performance to recover over the remaining quarters, which could reassure investors concerned by the early-year profit decline and support the company’s positioning as a stable, income-oriented stock in its segment.
