Oji Holdings ( (JP:3861) ) has shared an update.
Oji Holdings reported a decline in operating profit for fiscal 2025, hurt by weak overseas pulp and paper markets, lower domestic sales, and rising logistics and personnel costs, even as net profit rose on foreign exchange gains and asset sales. For fiscal 2026, the company forecasts a strong rebound in operating profit driven by a recovery in LBKP-led pulp markets, the full-year impact of price hikes, and ongoing business restructuring, while planning further asset slimming and accounting for risks from Middle East tensions.
Management confirmed progress toward its 2027 medium-term plan, highlighting restructuring, expansion of sustainable product lines, and growth in the forest biomass business as key pillars. Shareholder returns remain a focus, with a stable annual dividend of ¥36 per share for both fiscal 2025 and 2026, completion of a ¥47.7 billion share buyback, a further ¥73.0 billion repurchase planned by 2027, and the cancellation of 100 million treasury shares, equivalent to 9.9% of shares outstanding.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3861) stock is a Buy with a Yen930.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Oji Holdings stock, see the JP:3861 Stock Forecast page.
