KAWAKAMI PAINT MANUFACTURING CO.,LTD. [4616.T]
TOKYO, Jan 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Kawakami Paint Manufacturing CO.,LTD. (4616.T) reported its progress toward achieving capital cost-conscious management strategies.
Despite a slight increase in revenue to ¥5.932 billion in the fiscal year ending November 2025, operating profit declined to ¥96 million, leading to a lower ROE of 2.17%. To address these challenges, the company plans to enhance shareholder returns through increased dividend payouts, aiming for a payout ratio of up to 80% once the equity ratio reaches 40%. In addition to boosting dividends, the firm introduced a shareholding benefit program offering Quo cards to long-term shareholders holding 100 shares or more continuously since the end of the previous fiscal year.
This move follows the company's analysis indicating low liquidity as a factor contributing to stock price stagnation. Kawakami also revised its mid-term business plan, focusing on improving profitability and expanding product development through collaboration with key customers. The company remains committed to enhancing transparency and investor relations, ensuring continuous updates on its strategic initiatives aimed at sustainable growth and improved corporate value.
