The latest announcement is out from NIC Autotec, Inc. ( (JP:5742) ).
NIC Autotec, Inc. reported third-quarter net sales of ¥4,923 million for the period ended December 2025, a 4.5% year-on-year increase, indicating modest top-line growth despite a tougher operating environment. The company maintains a solid financial base, with total assets of ¥6,450 million and a capital adequacy ratio improving to 51.2%, and continues its shareholder return policy with an interim dividend of ¥20 per share and a planned year-end dividend of ¥21 per share.
Profitability weakened significantly compared with the previous year, as operating profit dropped to ¥38 million and ordinary profit to ¥51 million, with quarterly profit falling 60.7% to ¥55 million and basic earnings per share halving to ¥10.16. While lower earnings may reflect rising costs or softer margins in its markets, the stronger equity ratio and maintained dividend levels suggest management is prioritizing financial stability and consistent returns to shareholders, even amid profit pressure.
