Nichias ( (JP:5393) ) just unveiled an update.
Nichias reported a slight 1.8% decline in fiscal 2025 net sales to ¥251.9 billion, with operating income down 6.8% and profit attributable to owners of the parent slipping 1.4%, even as comprehensive income rose sharply. Despite softer earnings and reduced operating cash flow, total assets and net assets increased, the equity ratio improved to 77.7%, and the company continued significant shareholder returns, lifting the annual dividend to ¥164 per share before a 3-for-1 stock split.
Management also executed a large reduction in treasury stock and implemented the stock split effective April 1, 2026, moves that enhance share liquidity and broaden investor access. For fiscal 2026, Nichias is guiding for a return to growth, projecting 7.2% higher net sales and a 21.6% jump in operating income, underscoring confidence in margin recovery and signaling a positive outlook for shareholders despite a normalized, lower post-split dividend forecast.
