An update from INPEX ( (JP:1605) ) is now available.
INPEX reported a decline in full-year 2025 results, with revenue down 11.2% to ¥2.01 trillion and operating profit falling 10.7%, while profit attributable to owners of the parent slipped 7.8% to ¥393.8 billion. Despite weaker earnings and a drop in total comprehensive income, profitability metrics such as a 56.5% operating margin and 15.5% ratio of profit before tax to total assets remained robust, underscoring resilient operations amid a softer environment.
The company strengthened shareholder returns by raising the annual dividend to ¥100 per common share for 2025, up from ¥86, and plans a further increase to ¥108 in 2026 alongside ongoing share buybacks that lifted treasury stock. INPEX forecasts another year of moderate contraction in 2026, with revenue expected to fall 5.9% and profit attributable to owners of the parent down 16.2%, signaling a cautious outlook as earnings normalize from recent peaks and sector conditions remain challenging.
