Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

UACJ ( (JP:5741) ) has provided an announcement.

UACJ reported full-year results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 that exceeded its earlier forecasts, driven mainly by a favorable inventory impact from soaring aluminum ingot prices. Revenue reached ¥1,181.7 billion, operating income ¥76.9 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent ¥38.9 billion, all above guidance and sharply higher than the previous year.

On the back of these stronger earnings, the company’s board approved an increase in the year-end dividend for the period to ¥35 per share, up from the prior forecast of ¥25. This move underscores UACJ’s policy of stable, consistent shareholder returns and supports its target of a dividend payout ratio of 30% or more under its current mid-term management plan, signaling a more shareholder-friendly cash distribution in light of improved profitability.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5741) stock is a Buy with a Yen8400.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on UACJ stock, see the JP:5741 Stock Forecast page.
