Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from Nisshin OilliO Group, Ltd. ( (JP:2602) ) is now available.

The Nisshin OilliO Group reported consolidated net sales of ¥416.97 billion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, up 3.1% year on year, while operating and ordinary profit declined 20.2% and 24.3% respectively amid margin pressure. Profit attributable to owners of parent, however, surged 85.5% to ¥22.59 billion, largely driven by a ¥23.16 billion gain on sale of non-current assets booked as extraordinary income.

Total assets rose to ¥444.72 billion and net assets to ¥217.32 billion, though the capital adequacy ratio eased to 46.2% from 48.2%, reflecting balance sheet expansion and increased treasury stock. The company maintained its dividend plan with an interim payment of ¥90 per share and a full-year forecast of ¥180, signaling continued shareholder returns despite weaker core profitability.

For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Nisshin OilliO forecasts modest sales growth to ¥540 billion but expects operating and ordinary profit to fall more than 20%, underlining structural earnings pressure in its core businesses. Excluding one-off extraordinary items, full-year profit attributable to owners of parent is projected at ¥9 billion, highlighting that the current earnings uplift is not purely operational and may prompt investor focus on the sustainability of future profit levels.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2602) stock is a Buy with a Yen6451.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nisshin OilliO Group, Ltd. stock, see the JP:2602 Stock Forecast page.
