Marumae Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6264) ) has provided an update.

Marumae Co., Ltd. is a Tokyo-listed manufacturer serving industrial markets, with its business measured under Japanese GAAP on a consolidated basis. The company focuses on equipment and components that support advanced manufacturing, and its performance is closely watched by institutional investors given its exposure to cyclical demand.

As of February 28, 2026, Marumae reported consolidated net sales of ¥8.71 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥1.67 billion for the first half, alongside a stronger balance sheet as total assets rose to ¥26.59 billion and the equity ratio improved to 36.2%. The company raised its interim dividend to ¥38 per share on a pre-split basis and revised its dividend plan in connection with a 2-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 2026, while maintaining a full-year forecast that projects ¥17.7 billion in sales and nearly doubling profit, signaling confidence in earnings momentum and shareholder returns.

The board’s decision to implement a stock split and adjust dividend levels reflects an effort to enhance liquidity and align payout policy with growth, which may broaden the investor base and support valuation. The improved equity ratio and robust profit outlook suggest that Marumae is reinforcing its financial foundation while positioning itself for expansion, developments that are likely to be closely monitored by shareholders and the broader market.
