Sakai Moving Service Posts Modest Sales Growth, Maintains Outlook and Lifts Shareholder Returns

Sakai Moving Service Co., Ltd. ( (JP:9039) ) has provided an announcement.

Sakai Moving Service reported consolidated net sales of ¥87.2 billion for the nine months to December 31, 2025, up 2.9% year on year, while operating profit fell 4.3% to ¥7.7 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent declined 5.7% to ¥5.1 billion, indicating margin pressure despite modest topline growth. The company’s financial position remains solid with an equity ratio of 83.9%, and it maintained its full-year forecast for fiscal 2025, targeting a 3.7% rise in sales and slight profit growth, while increasing interim dividends and adjusting earnings per share guidance to reflect an ongoing share buyback, signaling continued shareholder-return focus amid a challenging profit environment.

Sakai has raised its annual dividend outlook to ¥98 per share for the year ending March 31, 2026, up from ¥97 in the prior year, and already doubled the interim payout to ¥30, underscoring management’s confidence in cash flow sustainability. The share repurchase approved in August 2025 has reduced the average number of shares outstanding, lifting projected earnings per share to ¥219.68 for the full year and potentially enhancing capital efficiency and shareholder value, even as operating profits grow only modestly.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9039) stock is a Hold with a Yen3118.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sakai Moving Service Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:9039 Stock Forecast page.
