Socionext Inc. ( (JP:6526) ) has shared an update.
Socionext reported fiscal 2026 net sales of ¥200.8 billion, up 6.5% year on year, but saw operating income halved to ¥12.4 billion and profit attributable to owners drop 55.4% to ¥8.7 billion, compressing margins and returns. The balance sheet remains solid with an equity ratio of 79.4%, although cash and cash equivalents fell to ¥44.5 billion due to heavier investing and financing outflows.
Despite weaker earnings, the company maintained its annual dividend at ¥50 per share, resulting in a payout ratio above 100%, signaling a strong commitment to shareholder returns. For fiscal 2027, Socionext forecasts a 7.1% rise in sales to ¥215 billion and a 14.5% increase in net profit to ¥10 billion, implying confidence in a profit recovery and improved operating performance after this year’s margin pressure.
