An update from LEC INC ( (JP:7874) ) is now available.

LEC Inc., a Tokyo-listed company reporting under Japanese GAAP, continues to operate with a solid financial position highlighted by growing total assets and equity and an equity-to-asset ratio just under 40%. The firm has not altered its consolidation scope or accounting policies, and its share count remains stable aside from a modest reduction in treasury shares.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, LEC posted a 4.5% rise in net sales to ¥52.9 billion, with operating profit surging 71.2% and profit attributable to owners climbing 53.1%, driving a sharp increase in earnings per share. Management raised both full-year earnings forecasts and dividend guidance, projecting net sales of ¥70 billion and a higher year-end dividend, signaling confidence in sustained profit growth and an enhanced return to shareholders.

The company’s forecasts call for full-year operating profit of ¥4.5 billion and profit attributable to owners of ¥2.9 billion, implying strong year-on-year gains and continuing margin improvement. With no significant structural or accounting changes disclosed, the improved outlook appears driven by underlying operational performance, positioning LEC more favorably in its market and offering potentially higher income to investors through increased dividends.
