Shiseido Outperforms 2025 Profit Forecasts and Maintains Dividend Amid Weak Americas Sales

Shiseido Company,Limited ( (JP:4911) ) has issued an announcement.

Shiseido reported that its full-year 2025 consolidated results modestly exceeded its earlier forecasts, with net sales lifted slightly by favorable foreign exchange effects from a weaker yen and core operating profit beating expectations due to additional benefits from structural reforms and disciplined cost control. Despite weakness in its Americas business and like-for-like sales remaining below targets, operating profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent surpassed projections, supported by smaller-than-expected non-recurring losses and foreign exchange gains, while the company maintained its planned annual dividend of ¥40 per share, signaling stability for shareholders.

The better-than-forecast profitability underscores the effectiveness of Shiseido’s ongoing restructuring and expense management efforts amid a challenging demand environment, especially in the Americas. By keeping its dividend unchanged, the company is balancing a still-declining like-for-like top line with improved earnings quality, suggesting a focus on shareholder returns and financial resilience despite operating headwinds and currency-driven volatility.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4911) stock is a Hold with a Yen2697.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shiseido Company,Limited stock, see the JP:4911 Stock Forecast page.
