The latest announcement is out from Musashi Seimitsu Industry Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7220) ).

Musashi Seimitsu reported flat consolidated net sales of ¥347.2 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, with operating profit edging up 4.1% to ¥20.5 billion and ordinary profit rising 12.5%. Profit attributable to owners of the parent, however, plunged 83.8% to ¥1.3 billion, driving basic earnings per share down to ¥19.29 and pushing the payout ratio above 200%, prompting the company to cut the annual dividend from ¥50 to ¥40 per share even as net assets and the equity ratio improved modestly.

Management forecasts a 3.5% decline in net sales and lower profits in FY2026, but expects a sharp rebound in earnings per share to around ¥99, signaling a focus on restoring profitability after the earnings slump and maintaining shareholder returns at a moderated but stable dividend level.
