Kansai Paint Co ( (JP:4613) ) has shared an announcement.
Kansai Paint reported consolidated net sales of ¥442.4 billion for the nine months to December 31, 2025, a slight 0.5% decline year-on-year, while operating profit was broadly flat at ¥39.0 billion and ordinary profit rose 8.6% to ¥45.4 billion. Profit attributable to owners of parent fell 8.9% to ¥30.0 billion despite stable earnings per share, as comprehensive income decreased and net assets and the equity ratio edged higher amid continued share buybacks.
The company kept its full-year forecast unchanged, projecting marginally higher net sales of ¥590.0 billion and ordinary profit growth of 12.0%, but expects operating profit and bottom-line profit to decline versus the prior year. Kansai Paint also maintained its dividend guidance, targeting a sharp year-on-year increase to a total annual dividend of ¥110 per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, signaling continued shareholder returns despite softer profit outlook.
Total assets rose to ¥786.3 billion and equity improved to ¥285.8 billion, lifting the equity-to-asset ratio to 36.4% and underscoring a slightly stronger balance sheet. The number of shares outstanding declined compared with the previous year due to higher treasury stock, which supported basic earnings per share even as aggregate profit softened, an outcome that may be welcomed by existing shareholders but points to limited underlying growth in core operations.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4613) stock is a Hold with a Yen2871.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kansai Paint Co stock, see the JP:4613 Stock Forecast page.
