Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Nihon Flush Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7820) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Nihon Flush reported consolidated net sales of ¥23.46 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, down 2.2% year on year, but operating profit more than doubled to ¥1.75 billion and ordinary profit rose 84.8% as profitability recovered from the prior year’s loss. Profit attributable to owners of the parent rebounded to ¥1.42 billion, lifting basic earnings per share to ¥62.21 and pushing comprehensive income into positive territory, while the equity ratio stayed solid at 71.7% and year-end cash and cash equivalents increased to ¥5.59 billion.

The company maintained an annual dividend of ¥36 per share, implying a significantly higher payout ratio following the earnings recovery, and plans to keep the same dividend level in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. However, it forecasts a 10.5% decline in net sales and lower profits in the coming year, signaling expectations of a tougher operating environment and suggesting that while balance sheet strength and shareholder returns remain priorities, earnings momentum may soften, which could temper investor sentiment.
