The latest announcement is out from NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS,INC. ( (JP:9147) ).
Nippon Express Holdings reported virtually flat 2025 revenue at ¥2.57 trillion, with operating profit up 4.9% but profit before tax and net profit plunging, as net income attributable to owners fell to ¥2.7 billion and earnings per share dropped sharply after recognizing weaker investment income. Despite this, the group maintained a solid balance sheet with total assets of ¥2.41 trillion and strong operating cash flow, while executing a three-for-one stock split and cutting annual dividends to ¥100 per share, implying a very high payout ratio on depressed earnings.
For 2026, management projects a recovery, guiding for 4.9% revenue growth to ¥2.7 trillion and a near-doubling of operating profit to ¥100 billion, with net profit expected to rebound strongly to ¥60 billion, which would significantly improve per-share earnings and normalize the dividend payout profile. The company also reduced its shares outstanding during 2025 and plans to keep the dividend at ¥100 per share, signaling confidence in medium-term earnings power even as the latest fiscal year’s results reflect a temporary earnings setback.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9147) stock is a Sell with a Yen3104.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS,INC. stock, see the JP:9147 Stock Forecast page.
