GSI Creos Lifts Earnings and Dividend Outlook on Strong Textile and Materials Demand

GSI Creos Corporation ( (JP:8101) ) just unveiled an announcement.

GSI Creos Corporation has raised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, projecting higher net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent than previously expected. The upgrade reflects solid progress versus plan, driven by robust demand for functional yarns and innerwear textiles, steady export sales in outerwear, growth in raw materials for painting, and benefits from exiting unprofitable businesses and advancing its triacetate business.

Compared with the prior fiscal year, the company now expects both sales and profits to exceed past levels, reinforcing the trajectory of its “GSI CONNECT Phase 2” mid-term strategy focused on expansion and profitability. In tandem with the improved outlook, GSI Creos revised its year-end dividend forecast to 102 yen per share, up from the earlier plan and last year’s payout, targeting a payout ratio just above 50% and underscoring a progressive, shareholder-friendly capital return policy that also includes share buybacks.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8101) stock is a Buy with a Yen2822.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GSI Creos Corporation stock, see the JP:8101 Stock Forecast page.
