TOKYO, Mar 13 (Pulse News Wire) – Sakurasaku Plus,co.,ltd. (7097.T) reported a significant increase in revenue for its fiscal second quarter ended February 28, 2026, reaching ¥8.315 billion compared to ¥7.598 billion in the same period last year, marking a 9.4% growth.

Net profit attributable to parent shareholders rose 157.9% to ¥259 million from ¥100 million in the corresponding quarter.

In addition, the company announced a continued dividend policy, planning to raise annual dividends per share to ¥24 from ¥20, maintaining a commitment to shareholder returns for the fifth consecutive year.
