KYB Corporation ( (JP:7242) ) has issued an update.
KYB Corporation reported strong consolidated results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, with net sales, operating profit, profit before taxes and profit attributable to owners of the parent all posting double-digit year-on-year gains. Profitability metrics, including operating margin and return on equity, improved, while total assets and equity attributable to owners of the parent also rose, lifting book value per share.
The company generated positive operating cash flow and increased year-end shareholder returns, setting a higher dividend level following a two-for-one stock split completed in December 2024. However, its forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 projects modest sales growth but a sharp decline in profits and earnings per share, even after accounting for a planned three-for-one stock split in October 2026, signaling a more challenging earnings environment ahead despite continued commitment to dividends.
