Ushio ( (JP:6925) ) has shared an announcement.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Ushio reported net sales of ¥126.9 billion, down 0.9% year-on-year, while operating profit rose 4.6% to ¥7.7 billion. However, ordinary profit fell 15.1% to ¥8.9 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent declined 29.8% to ¥4.0 billion, reflecting margin pressure and lower non-operating income despite an improved operating result; basic earnings per share decreased to ¥47.25. Total assets increased to ¥314.9 billion but the equity ratio slipped to 62.8% as net assets edged down, partly against the backdrop of a substantial increase in treasury stock. The company kept its full-year forecast unchanged, projecting a 4.3% decline in net sales to ¥170.0 billion but a 13.3% rise in operating profit to ¥10.0 billion and a modest 3.0% increase in full-year profit attributable to owners to ¥7.0 billion, alongside an annual dividend forecast of ¥70 per share, signaling management’s confidence in earnings resilience and a continued commitment to shareholder returns despite a challenging operating environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6925) stock is a Hold with a Yen3077.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ushio stock, see the JP:6925 Stock Forecast page.
