i-mobile Posts Lower First-Half Profit but Keeps Guidance and Dividend Plan Intact

i-mobile Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6535) ) has shared an announcement.

i-mobile Co., Ltd. reported consolidated net sales of ¥16.83 billion for the six months ended January 31, 2026, up 2.6% year on year, but operating profit fell 23.2% to ¥2.88 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent declined 20.8% to ¥2.03 billion, reflecting margin pressure despite modest top-line growth. The company’s equity ratio weakened to 45.2% from 59.3% as total assets expanded, while it maintained a zero interim dividend and plans a full-year dividend of ¥27 per share, alongside unchanged full-year guidance calling for slight sales growth and high-single-digit profit increases, signaling confidence in earnings recovery but also highlighting current profitability challenges and balance sheet shifts following the deconsolidation of Cyber Consultant, Inc.

i-mobile’s full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026 projects net sales of ¥22.0 billion, up 2.2%, and operating profit of ¥4.5 billion, up 8.9%, with profit attributable to owners of parent expected to rise 5.5% to ¥3.12 billion and basic EPS of ¥55.67. For shareholders, the combination of lower interim earnings, a maintained but slightly higher year-end dividend plan versus the prior year, and stable earnings guidance suggests management is prioritizing longer-term growth and stable returns despite short-term margin compression and a modest decline in earnings per share in the first half.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6535) stock is a Buy with a Yen581.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on i-mobile Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:6535 Stock Forecast page.
