The latest update is out from Max Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6454) ).

Max Co., Ltd. reported steady top-line growth and improving profitability for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, with consolidated net sales and operating profit both rising at high single- to double-digit rates year on year and operating margin expanding into the high teens. The industrial equipment segment drove much of the earnings momentum through robust double-digit sales growth and sharply higher segment margins, while the office equipment segment remained solid but slightly softer, and the smaller HCR equipment unit hovered around break-even. Overseas sales continued to expand at a faster pace than the group average, particularly in North America and Europe, contributing to a gradual strengthening of the company’s international revenue mix. The balance sheet remained sound with rising total assets, higher net assets and an equity ratio in the mid‑80% range, and the company plans a higher full-year dividend alongside increased capital expenditure and R&D outlays, underscoring a commitment to both shareholder returns and future growth investment.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6454) stock is a Buy with a Yen7413.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Max Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:6454 Stock Forecast page.
