MEC Company Ltd. ( (JP:4971) ) has issued an update.
MEC Company Ltd. reported strong consolidated results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with net sales rising 14.9% to ¥20.95 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent more than doubling to ¥5.03 billion, driving basic earnings per share up to ¥272.14. The company strengthened its balance sheet with higher net assets and an equity ratio of 83.7%, while cash dividends were sharply increased to ¥96 per share for 2025 and maintained at the same level in the 2026 forecast, even as projected full-year profit is expected to decline 8.5%, signaling a focus on continued shareholder returns amid more moderate growth expectations.
Operating income and ordinary income climbed 26.0% and 29.2% respectively, reflecting improved profitability and efficiency, though operating cash flow fell slightly and cash on hand decreased due to higher investing and financing outflows. MEC also removed MEC (Hong Kong) Ltd. from the consolidation scope and adopted revised accounting standards, while non-consolidated results showed particularly strong profit growth, underscoring solid core business performance ahead of a year in which management anticipates slower earnings momentum but ongoing investment and a stable dividend policy.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4971) stock is a Hold with a Yen6373.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on MEC Company Ltd. stock, see the JP:4971 Stock Forecast page.
