Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest update is out from KURABO INDUSTRIES LTD. ( (JP:3106) ).

Kurabo Industries reported fiscal 2026 consolidated net sales of ¥143.8 billion, down 4.6% year on year, with operating profit falling 11.0% to ¥9.2 billion and ordinary profit down 6.1%, but profit attributable to owners of parent jumped 42.8% to ¥12.9 billion, lifting ROE to 10.2%. The balance sheet strengthened as total assets rose to ¥201.8 billion and the equity ratio improved to 65.5%, while operating cash flow increased to ¥14.6 billion and cash and cash equivalents held steady at around ¥15.5 billion.

Shareholders are set to benefit from a sharp dividend hike, with the annual dividend for fiscal 2026 raised to ¥307 per share from ¥180, implying higher payout and dividend-on-equity ratios, and the company plans a 5-for-1 stock split effective October 1, 2026. For fiscal 2027, Kurabo forecasts a recovery in top-line growth to 7.1% and a 22.0% rise in operating profit, alongside only a modest 1.0% increase in bottom-line profit, reflecting expectations of improved core earnings but a normalization of per-share profit metrics after the stock split and prior-year profit surge.
