TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Sodick CO.,LTD. (6143.T) reported robust revenue and profit growth for its fiscal first quarter ending December 2026.
Consolidated revenue reached ¥21.60 billion, up 10.4% year-over-year (YoY). Operating profit surged to ¥1.700 billion, marking a significant increase of 161.4% YoY due to higher sales volumes and improved factory utilization rates. In detail, the Machinery Tools division led the performance, achieving substantial gains driven by increased sales of electrical discharge machining equipment. Segmental income rose to ¥2.300 billion, reflecting strong demand across regions. Industrial machinery also saw modest improvements, with optical connector-related needs continuing to support sales growth.
However, food machinery faced challenges, recording lower revenues amid reduced rice cooker production despite stable noodle-making equipment sales. Looking ahead, while Sodick expects continued momentum in machinery tools, geopolitical risks pose uncertainties. The company remains committed to its mid-term plan targeting annual sales of ¥100.0 billion and operating profits of ¥10.00 billion by FY2029. Additionally, Sodick reaffirmed its dividend policy, aiming for progressive payouts and maintaining a total payout ratio of 40% over the next four years. Despite ongoing global economic tensions, Sodick's diversified strategy and focus on innovation continue to drive its ambitious growth targets.
