Toagosei posts solid Q1 profit jump, ups 2026 dividend outlook

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

Toagosei reported consolidated net sales of ¥38.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, down 3.0% year on year, with operating income slipping 4.7% to ¥3.2 billion, while ordinary profit was flat and net income attributable to owners of the parent jumped 38.7% to ¥2.8 billion, lifting quarterly EPS to ¥26.00. The balance sheet remained solid with a high equity ratio of 74.9%, and although full-year 2026 forecasts point to modest sales and profit growth alongside a projected 9.9% drop in full-year net income, the company plans to raise its annual dividend to ¥70 per share, signaling continued shareholder returns despite near-term earnings pressure.

For the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, Toagosei forecasts net sales of ¥167.0 billion, up 2.9% from the previous year, and operating income of ¥14.5 billion, up 2.3%, with ordinary profit essentially flat at ¥15.1 billion. First-half guidance also indicates slight top-line growth but marginal declines in operating and ordinary profit, while an increase in treasury shares outstanding suggests continued capital management actions alongside stable operations and cautious profit expectations.
