Maezawa Kyuso Posts Solid Nine-Month Profit, Lifts Annual Dividend Outlook Despite Margin Pressure

An announcement from Maezawa Kyuso Industries Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6485) ) is now available.

Maezawa Kyuso Industries reported non-consolidated net sales of ¥24.1 billion and profit of ¥2.24 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, with basic earnings per share of ¥109.11, following its switch from consolidated to non-consolidated reporting from the current fiscal year. Total assets rose to ¥46.98 billion and net assets to ¥40.25 billion, leaving the equity ratio at a robust 85.7%, slightly down from March but still signaling financial strength.

The company maintained its dividend stance, paying ¥30 per share at the second quarter and forecasting a full-year dividend of ¥60 per share, up from ¥57 the previous year and including both ordinary and commemorative components. For the full year ending March 31, 2026, it forecasts modest sales growth to ¥32 billion but expects double-digit declines in operating and ordinary profit, suggesting rising costs or margin pressures even as it continues to prioritize shareholder returns through higher dividends.
