R&D Computer Lifts Profit but Cuts Full-Year Outlook as Sales Decline

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

R&D Computer Co. Ltd. ( (JP:3924) ) has provided an update.

R&D Computer reported nine‑month net sales of ¥9.18 billion, down 7.2% year on year, but boosted operating profit 16.4% to ¥1.01 billion and ordinary profit 15.9%, while profit attributable to owners fell 20.8% to ¥498 million and basic EPS dropped to ¥27.78. The company maintained a strong equity-to-asset ratio of 73.0%, raised its interim dividend to ¥19 per share, and revised its full-year forecast to project lower sales and a 46.3% decline in full-year profit to ¥550 million, signaling earnings pressure despite solid balance sheet metrics.

R&D plans a full-year dividend of ¥38 per share, up from the prior year, underscoring its shareholder-return stance even as it anticipates an 8.3% decline in annual net sales to ¥13.3 billion and only modest growth in operating profit. With total assets edging down to ¥8.02 billion and net assets at ¥5.88 billion, the updated guidance and downward profit outlook highlight a more challenging operating environment and may temper investor expectations despite improved profitability in the latest nine‑month period.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3924) stock is a Buy with a Yen1118.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on R&D Computer Co. Ltd. stock, see the JP:3924 Stock Forecast page.
