Nagano Keiki Profits Slip but Dividends Rise as Balance Sheet Strengthens

The latest update is out from Nagano Keiki Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7715) ).

Nagano Keiki reported fiscal year 2026 consolidated net sales of ¥67.69 billion, down 2.7% year on year, with operating profit falling 8.8% to ¥6.98 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent decreasing 10.9% to ¥5.40 billion, as profitability ratios and earnings per share also weakened. Despite this slowdown, the company’s equity ratio improved to 62.9% and cash and cash equivalents rose to ¥13.49 billion, while it raised its annual dividend to ¥52 per share for FY2026 and projects essentially flat sales but further profit declines in FY2027, signaling tighter earnings but a continued focus on shareholder returns.

Nagano Keiki increased total net assets to ¥49.11 billion and strengthened its balance sheet even as ordinary profit margin narrowed, reflecting a more conservative earnings outlook amid a challenging operating environment. The company plans to lift the dividend again to ¥60 per share in FY2027, meaning shareholders can expect higher cash returns even as management guides for lower full-year profit of ¥4.30 billion and softer earnings per share, underscoring confidence in financial stability but highlighting pressure on growth and margins.
