Sanyo Electric Railway Co., Ltd. ( (JP:9052) ) has shared an announcement.

Sanyo Electric Railway reported a solid improvement in earnings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, with operating revenues rising 4.3% to ¥40.1 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent jumping 33.4% to ¥4.0 billion, lifting basic earnings per share to ¥182.05. The stronger performance improved profitability metrics and boosted net assets, enabling the company to raise its annual dividend from ¥35.00 to ¥50.00 per share, with a forecast to maintain that dividend level in the next fiscal year.

The company’s balance sheet strengthened, as total assets grew to ¥130.3 billion and the equity-to-asset ratio inched up to 47.8%, while operating cash flow increased to ¥8.0 billion, supporting continued investment and moderate debt reduction. For the year ending March 31, 2027, Sanyo projects 9.0% growth in operating revenues but expects profit attributable to owners of parent to decline 25.7% to ¥3.0 billion, indicating potential margin pressure or higher costs even as it targets steady shareholder returns through maintained dividend payouts.
