Kyodo Printing Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7914) ) has issued an announcement.
Kyodo Printing Co., Ltd. revised its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, cutting projected net sales, operating profit, and ordinary profit, while slightly raising profit attributable to owners of parent. The downgrade reflects weaker performance in information-related businesses due to stricter, profit-focused order management and slower-than-expected progress in contents-related events, merchandise, and smart card orders, partially offset by higher gains on stock sales.
Despite the softer earnings outlook, Kyodo Printing plans to lift its year-end dividend forecast by ¥2 per share to ¥40, bringing the annual payout to ¥78 including the already paid interim dividend. Management emphasized its 3.5% dividend-on-equity target and commitment to maintaining stable long-term dividends, signaling continued prioritization of shareholder returns even as certain business segments underperform expectations.
