Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from Toagosei Co ( (JP:4045) ) is now available.

Toagosei reported consolidated net sales of ¥162.3 billion for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, down 3.2% year on year, while operating profit was broadly flat at ¥14.2 billion and ordinary profit slipped 5.8%. Profit attributable to owners of the parent rose 7.5% to ¥12.8 billion, lifting basic earnings per share to ¥117.02 and contributing to an equity-to-asset ratio of 74.3%, although cash and cash equivalents declined due to higher investment outflows.

The company raised its annual dividend for 2025 to ¥65 per share from ¥60 and plans a further increase to ¥70 in 2026, implying a higher shareholder return despite a forecast 9.9% decline in 2026 full-year profit attributable to owners of the parent. Management projects modest revenue and profit growth in operating metrics for 2026, signaling confidence in underlying business stability even as net income is expected to ease, a stance that may reassure investors focused on income and balance-sheet strength.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4045) stock is a Buy with a Yen1966.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Toagosei Co stock, see the JP:4045 Stock Forecast page.
