DIC ( (JP:4631) ) has shared an announcement.
DIC Corporation reported that net sales for fiscal 2025 fell as shipments of mass-market consumer-adjacent products, such as packaging inks and pigments for coatings and plastics, declined amid higher prices and economic uncertainty. However, operating income improved on strong demand for high-value-added offerings, ongoing price revisions to protect margins, and better profitability in its Color & Display segment.
Net income attributable to owners of the parent rose sharply and exceeded both the prior year and previous forecasts, boosted by a ¥6.9 billion gain from the sale of artworks, while all key profit metrics topped guidance. Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, DIC expects a recovery in overseas demand and expanded sales of high-value-added products, alongside structural reforms in Color & Display, to lift net sales and operating income, and it plans to raise its ordinary dividend to ¥140 per share under a new shareholder return policy targeting a payout ratio of at least 40%.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4631) stock is a Buy with a Yen4499.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on DIC stock, see the JP:4631 Stock Forecast page.
