The latest announcement is out from Shofu Inc. ( (JP:7979) ).
Shofu reported consolidated net sales of ¥39.99 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, up 3.3% year on year, with profit attributable to owners of the parent rising 13.2% to ¥4.89 billion despite a slight decline in operating margin. Total assets and net assets expanded, lifting net assets per share, while cash and equivalents edged down as operating cash flow was offset by increased investment outflows.
The company maintained a high equity ratio above 84% and raised annual dividends to ¥60 per share including a special dividend, with a further increase to ¥61 per share forecast for fiscal 2027 that also incorporates a special component. The combination of earnings growth, robust balance sheet metrics, and higher shareholder returns underscores management’s confidence in the business while signaling a continued emphasis on capital efficiency and investor payouts.
