ANEST IWATA Corporation [6381.T]
TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – ANEST IWATA Corporation (6381.T) reported revenue of ¥149.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 2026, surpassing forecasts despite missing profit targets. Operating profit came in at ¥12.16 billion, while net profit reached ¥2.159 billion, marking its highest level ever.
However, the company expects reduced profitability in the next fiscal year due to increased investment costs and one-time expenses related to its 100th anniversary celebrations. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, ANEST IWATA anticipates higher sales but lower profits, projecting operating income to decline amid rising personnel costs and investments in research and development.
The company also plans to initiate share buybacks beginning May 13, alongside a dividend increase to ¥93 per share, up from the previous year's ¥45. In addition to expanding production capabilities and strengthening its operational base through equipment investments, ANEST IWATA highlighted contributions from its mobility service businesses and e-commerce platforms.
Despite challenges such as delayed product launches and supply chain disruptions, the firm remains optimistic about growth opportunities in key markets like India and Europe.
