The latest update is out from Nitto Denko ( (JP:6988) ).

Nitto Denko reported modest revenue growth for the year ended March 31, 2026, with sales up 1.4% to ¥1.03 trillion, while operating profit and net profit dipped slightly as margins softened. Earnings per share edged higher due to the prior stock split, and return on equity remained solid, underpinned by a strong balance sheet with an equity ratio near 80% and rising equity per share.

Cash flow from operating activities stayed robust at just over ¥192 billion, though free cash flow tightened as investing and financing outflows increased and cash on hand fell slightly. The company raised its annual dividend to ¥60 per share post-split and signaled continued shareholder returns, while forecasting low- to mid-single-digit growth in revenue and profit for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, indicating stable but unspectacular earnings momentum for investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6988) stock is a Buy with a Yen4600.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nitto Denko stock, see the JP:6988 Stock Forecast page.
