TOKYO, Jan 30 (Pulse News Wire) – NS Tool CO.,LTD. (6157.T) reported its third-quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2026, showing a decline in revenue but an increase in operating profit.
Revenue for the quarter was ¥6.955 billion, down from ¥6.955 billion compared to the same period last year. However, operating profit rose to ¥924 million from ¥918 million, reflecting improved operational efficiency. The company attributed the revenue decrease primarily to ongoing challenges in the domestic automotive sector due to U.S. tariff issues, which have led to stagnation in export-related sales. In contrast, overseas markets, particularly in China, Thailand, India, and Vietnam, showed robust performance, contributing positively to overall results.
Looking ahead, NS Tool revised its full-year outlook downward, citing continued pressure from U.S. tariffs and potential shifts towards domestically produced tools in China. Additionally, rising raw material costs and labor expenses were expected to weigh on future profitability. In terms of shareholder returns, NS Tool plans to maintain its dividend payout policy, with an annual dividend of ¥30 per share, comprising ¥15 for interim and final dividends. The company also intends to enhance shareholder value through a self-share repurchase program targeting up to 2% of outstanding shares during the period from November 4, 2025, to March 19, 2026.
