Nittoseiko Lifts Dividend as 2025 Profit Softens, Forecasts Earnings Rebound in 2026

Nitto Seiko Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5957) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Nittoseiko Co., Ltd. reported consolidated net sales of ¥50.24 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, up 6.7% year on year, with operating profit rising 3.2% to ¥3.43 billion but ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of parent slipping 4.6% and 2.2%, respectively. Profitability ratios eased slightly, yet the equity ratio improved to 63.0% and net assets per share rose to ¥1,000.21, while operating cash flow declined and investing cash outflows increased, reflecting a more investment-heavy year.

The company raised its annual dividend from ¥19.50 to ¥23.00 per share for 2025, lifting both the payout ratio and the ratio of dividends to net assets, and it plans a further increase to ¥24.00 per share in 2026. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, Nittoseiko forecasts net sales of ¥52.0 billion and a 10.7% rise in operating profit to ¥3.8 billion, signaling expectations of modest top-line growth and margin recovery that support continued shareholder returns despite recent pressure on ordinary profit.
