Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

OPTORUN CO.,LTD. ( (JP:6235) ) has provided an update.

Optorun reported consolidated results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with net sales rising 4.5% year on year to ¥33.9 billion but profitability weakening sharply. Operating profit fell 49.2% to ¥3.3 billion, ordinary profit dropped 60.9% to ¥3.2 billion, and profit attributable to owners of parent slumped 53.4% to ¥3.0 billion, reflecting margin pressure and a swing from positive to negative equity-method contributions.

Despite higher total assets and a solid equity ratio of 66.6%, equity and net assets both declined versus the prior year, while return on equity halved to 5.1% and the operating margin slid to 9.8%. The company maintained an aggressive shareholder-return stance, lifting the annual dividend to ¥54 per share for 2025, implying a payout ratio of 73.7%, and it forecasts a rebound in 2026 with net sales up 12.8% and profit nearly doubling, supported by stronger operating leverage and expected recovery in ordinary profit.

Cash flows from operating activities improved markedly to ¥8.5 billion and cash and equivalents increased to ¥31.4 billion, even as financing cash flows were negative due to shareholder returns and other outflows. The company also expanded its treasury stock holdings materially, reducing the average number of shares outstanding and supporting earnings per share dynamics despite lower absolute profit.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6235) stock is a Hold with a Yen2245.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on OPTORUN CO.,LTD. stock, see the JP:6235 Stock Forecast page.
