Sharp Swings Back to Profit Despite Sliding Sales and Tight Dividend Stance

An update from Sharp Corporation ( (JP:6753) ) is now available.

Sharp Corporation reported a sharp turnaround in earnings for the nine months to December 31, 2025, posting profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥67.5 billion versus a loss a year earlier, despite a 14.5% drop in net sales to ¥1.42 trillion. Operating profit more than doubled to ¥41.0 billion, ordinary profit rose strongly, and equity improved, lifting the equity-to-asset ratio to 17.8% from 10.5% at the previous fiscal year-end.

The company maintained a zero interim dividend and has yet to determine a year-end payout, signaling a continued focus on balance sheet reinforcement despite the earnings recovery. For the full year to March 31, 2026, Sharp now forecasts a 13.4% decline in sales to ¥1.87 trillion but expects operating profit to rise 64.6% to ¥45.0 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent to climb 46.8% to ¥53.0 billion, reflecting restructuring progress and a leaner business portfolio after the exclusion of three subsidiaries from consolidation.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6753) stock is a Hold with a Yen713.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sharp Corporation stock, see the JP:6753 Stock Forecast page.
