NEC ( (JP:6701) ) has issued an announcement.
NEC reported consolidated revenue of ¥3.58 trillion for the year ended March 31, 2026, up 4.7% year on year, as operating profit jumped 40.3% to ¥359.9 billion and net profit attributable to owners of the parent climbed 54.3% to ¥270.2 billion. Profitability metrics improved markedly, with operating margin rising to 10.0% and return on equity to 13.0%, while total assets increased to ¥4.47 trillion and equity attributable to owners reached ¥2.20 trillion.
Non-GAAP operating profit rose 27.6% to ¥397.2 billion and Non-GAAP EPS advanced to ¥210.11, supported by stronger operating cash flow of ¥438.5 billion and a healthier balance sheet. NEC revised its year-end dividend for FY2025/26 to ¥22 (total annual ¥38 after a 5-for-1 share split) and signaled continued shareholder returns, while forecasting FY2026/27 revenue of ¥3.5 trillion, slightly lower year on year, but with further profit growth, targeting Non-GAAP operating profit of ¥420 billion and Non-GAAP net profit of ¥285 billion.
The company’s outlook suggests management is prioritizing margin expansion and cash generation over top-line growth in the near term, a stance likely to support capital efficiency and dividend capacity. Improved equity ratios and a return to positive equity-method contributions underline a more robust financial position, which may enhance NEC’s competitive standing in the ICT sector and provide greater resilience for investors amid a slower revenue trajectory.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6701) stock is a Buy with a Yen5200.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NEC stock, see the JP:6701 Stock Forecast page.
