Fuji Media Holdings ( (JP:4676) ) has shared an announcement.

Fuji Media Holdings reported a sharp deterioration in profitability for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, with net sales down 5.1% year on year to ¥392.4 billion and operating and ordinary results swinging into losses, even as profit attributable to owners of parent edged up slightly to ¥24.5 billion due in part to below‑the‑line factors and a reduced share count that lifted earnings per share to ¥118.08. The company’s equity ratio slipped to 54.6% from 56.8%, but its balance sheet remains solid, and management has revised both its full‑year earnings and dividend forecasts, now projecting a full‑year net loss at the operating and ordinary profit levels while still planning to double the annual dividend to ¥100 per share and raise the total payout to ¥125, signaling a continued emphasis on shareholder returns despite earnings pressure.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4676) stock is a Hold with a Yen3974.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fuji Media Holdings stock, see the JP:4676 Stock Forecast page.
