SHIKOKU KASEI HOLDINGS CORPORATION [4099.T]
TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Shikoku Kasei Holdings Corporation (4099.T) reported record-high sales and profits for its fiscal first quarter ended March 2026, driven by strong performance across segments, particularly in fine chemicals. Revenue reached ¥130 million, up from ¥130 million in the same period last year, while operating profit surged to ¥67.90 billion from ¥67.90 billion.
The company also revised its full-year forecast upward due to the completion of Timuraya's acquisition. Fine chemical sales exceeded initial projections, contributing to overall revenue growth. However, building materials sales fell short of expectations, leading to a lower-than-projected progress rate.
Despite this, the firm maintained its dividend policy, planning to distribute ¥65 per share for the interim period and ¥30 for the final period. Looking ahead, Shikoku Kasei aims to enhance profitability further through strategic investments and capital efficiency measures. The company plans to reduce excess cash holdings and allocate funds towards growth initiatives and shareholder returns.
Additionally, efforts to improve balance sheet management and leverage committed financing lines will support future expansion and stable shareholder payouts.
