Tokushu Tokai Paper Co.,Ltd. [3708.T]
TOKYO, May 20 (Pulse News Wire) – Tokushu Tokai Paper CO.,LTD. (3708.T) reported lower-than-expected fiscal year 2026 results due to delays in special function paper sales adjustments and higher raw material costs.
Revenue reached ¥971 million, falling short of the forecast, while operating profit was ¥44 billion, net profit stood at ¥43 billion, and earnings per share missed targets. Despite challenges, the company increased its dividend payout for the fiscal year ended March 2026. Full-year dividends rose to ¥94.00 per share, up from ¥53.67 previously, marking a significant boost for shareholders.
The company also plans to maintain a high total return ratio of 71.4%, aiming for stable shareholder returns despite anticipated cost pressures in the coming fiscal year. Looking ahead, Tokushu Tokai Paper forecasts continued price increases driven by rising crude oil prices and supply uncertainties, which could impact future performance. However, the firm remains committed to cost reduction strategies and pricing adjustments to mitigate potential risks.
