An announcement from Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4114) ) is now available.
Nippon Shokubai reported fiscal 2025 consolidated revenue of ¥399.9 billion, down 2.3% year on year, with operating profit slipping 8.0% to ¥17.5 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent declining 3.6% to ¥16.8 billion. Despite softer earnings and slightly lower profitability ratios, total comprehensive income more than doubled, equity rose to ¥406.6 billion, and the company maintained a high dividend payout with an annual dividend of ¥113 per share.
The group generated solid operating cash flow of ¥53.5 billion while stepping up investment outflows, ended the year with ¥51.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and modestly reduced treasury shares outstanding. However, management refrained from issuing dividend and earnings forecasts for the year ending March 2027, citing the difficulty of estimating the financial impact of heightened tensions in the Middle East, signaling increased external risk and uncertainty for shareholders and other stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4114) stock is a Hold with a Yen1690.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4114 Stock Forecast page.
