DISCO CORPORATION [6146.T]
TOKYO, Jan 21 (Pulse News Wire) -- DISCO Corporation (6146.T), led by President Kazuma Sekie, announced its preliminary consolidated earnings forecast and dividend expectations for the fiscal year ending March 2026. The company's latest projections indicate an anticipated sales revenue of ¥419 billion, operating income of ¥172.1 billion, ordinary income of ¥172.4 billion, and net income attributable to shareholders of ¥126.4 billion, with an estimated earnings per share of ¥1,165.72.
The new forecasts represent a significant increase compared to the previous fiscal year’s actual performance, which reported sales revenue of ¥393.3 billion, operating income of ¥166.8 billion, ordinary income of ¥168.9 billion, and net income attributable to shareholders of ¥123.8 billion, with an earnings per share of ¥1,143.26. Additionally, DISCO expects individual business segment revenues to reach ¥342.1 billion, operating income of ¥141.8 billion, ordinary income of ¥161.4 billion, and net income attributable to shareholders of ¥122.4 billion, with an estimated earnings per share of ¥1,128.83.
Regarding dividends, DISCO plans to distribute a total annual dividend of ¥437 per share, including a final dividend of ¥308 per share. This is based on the company’s dividend policy that links payouts to performance, aiming for 25% of semi-annual net profit while maintaining a stable dividend of ¥10 per share every six months, totaling ¥20 annually. However, if the company has excess funds after covering necessary expenditures such as technology purchases, equipment expansion, and debt repayment, it may decide to supplement the dividend by one-third of these surplus funds. Notably, should the company experience three consecutive years of negative consolidated profits, this stable dividend rate could be reconsidered.
DISCO attributes the difficulty in predicting customer investment appetites within the semiconductor and electronic components industry as the reason behind their cautious approach to forecasting beyond one quarter ahead. Despite these challenges, the company projects shipment volumes for the fiscal year ending March 2026 to amount to ¥4.38 trillion. These figures are subject to change due to various unforeseen factors affecting future performance.
