Ichimasa Kamaboko Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2904) ) has provided an announcement.

Ichimasa Kamaboko reported consolidated net sales of ¥19.59 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2025, up 2.8% year on year, while operating profit fell 16.7% to ¥852 million and profit attributable to owners of parent dropped 36.4% to ¥606 million, reflecting margin pressure despite modest revenue growth. Total assets rose to ¥34.94 billion and equity increased slightly, but the equity ratio declined to 43.6%, as the company maintained a zero interim dividend and kept its full‑year forecast unchanged, targeting ¥36.2 billion in sales and a 23.4% rebound in operating profit, signaling confidence in a profit recovery in the second half.

For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, Ichimasa Kamaboko projects 4.7% growth in net sales and a modest 0.4% increase in profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥750 million, implying a stronger back‑half performance versus the weak first half. The company plans to sustain an annual dividend of ¥14 per share with no special or commemorative payouts, suggesting a cautious but steady shareholder return policy amid a tougher earnings environment and a slightly more leveraged balance sheet.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2904) stock is a Hold with a Yen737.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ichimasa Kamaboko Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:2904 Stock Forecast page.
