NS Tool Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6157) ) has issued an update.
NS Tool reported consolidated net sales of ¥6,955 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, down 1.2% year on year, while operating profit slipped 1.1% to ¥1,283 million and profit attributable to owners of parent edged up 0.7% to ¥924 million. The company maintained a strong financial position with total assets of ¥19,365 million, an equity ratio of 92.5%, and confirmed an interim dividend of ¥15 per share toward a full-year forecast of ¥30, unchanged from the prior year.
Despite the relatively stable year-to-date earnings, NS Tool forecasts a full-year decline for the fiscal year ending March 2026, projecting net sales of ¥9,140 million, down 3.1%, and a roughly 26% drop in operating profit to ¥1,310 million as market conditions soften. The absence of revisions to its earnings or dividend forecasts suggests management sees the current outlook as achievable but signals a more challenging profit environment ahead for stakeholders in the precision tooling market.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6157) stock is a Buy with a Yen1027.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NS Tool Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:6157 Stock Forecast page.
