  • The company forecasts modest full-year growth in sales and operating income but expects double-digit declines in ordinary profit and net income as it integrates three new subsidiaries and trims its dividend forecast.

Meiwa Corporation ( (JP:8103) ) has issued an update.

Meiwa Corporation reported a slight 1.2% increase in net sales to ¥121.8 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, but net income attributable to owners of the parent fell 11.0% to ¥2.18 billion as ordinary income declined, despite a 16.0% rise in operating income. Total assets expanded to ¥87.2 billion and equity increased to ¥40.4 billion, though the equity ratio weakened to 46.4% from 51.5%, and the company maintained a zero interim dividend while forecasting a reduced full-year dividend of ¥38 per share. For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Meiwa projects modest sales and operating profit growth but double-digit declines in ordinary profit and net income, implying margin pressure even as the company broadens its consolidation scope by adding three subsidiaries, a move that may support longer-term scale and overseas growth but weighs on near-term profitability metrics and shareholder returns.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8103) stock is a Buy with a Yen1125.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Meiwa Corporation stock, see the JP:8103 Stock Forecast page.
