SEIKA CORPORATION [8061.T]

TOKYO, Feb 12 (Pulse News Wire) -- Seika Corporation (8061.T), led by President Shoichi Sakurai, announced on Monday that it is revising its fiscal year 2026 earnings forecast and final dividend expectations upward. The company's revised estimates reflect stronger-than-expected performance across its energy, industrial machinery, and product sectors.

The new forecast projects consolidated net sales of ¥108 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, an increase of ¥3 billion compared to the previous estimate of ¥105 billion. Operating income is now expected to reach ¥7.6 billion, up ¥1 billion from the earlier projection of ¥6.6 billion. Ordinary income has been raised to ¥8.5 billion, marking a rise of ¥1.35 billion over the prior forecast of ¥7.15 billion. Net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company is anticipated to be ¥6.5 billion, representing a ¥450 million improvement over the initial prediction of ¥6.05 billion. Earnings per share have also increased to ¥180.48, up from ¥168.12 previously.

These revisions come after the company’s October 1, 2025, stock split, where one ordinary share was exchanged for three shares. Adjusted for this split, the figures represent a significant boost in profitability. According to Executive Vice President Hirohisa Masuda, who oversees management, these improvements stem from accelerated deliveries across all business segments, leading to better-than-projected revenues and profits.

Additionally, Seika Corporation has decided to raise its final dividend payout for the current fiscal year. The company will pay out ¥45 per shareas a final dividend, an increase of ¥8 from the previously announced ¥37 per share. This adjustment brings the total annual dividend per share to ¥135 before the stock split, up from ¥111. Consequently, the combined interim and final dividends will amount to ¥245 per share pre-split, reflecting a ¥25 increase from the previous year's total of ¥220.

Masuda emphasized that the company views shareholder returns as a top priority and aims for a steady dividend policy based on a target payout ratio of 45%. With the improved outlook, Seika Corporation believes it can sustainably enhance its dividend payouts while maintaining strong financial health. However, the company noted that actual results may vary due to various factors not yet accounted for in the forecasts.
