Meitec revises dividend forecast upward, interim dividend set

Meitec Group Holdings, a leading engineering firm, today announced an interim dividend of JPY 90.00 per share for the fiscal year ending March 2026, an increase from the previously forecast JPY 86.00 and the prior year's JPY 88.00. This decision, effective November 28, 2025, follows stronger-than-expected consolidated net income for the second quarter, leading to a total interim dividend of JPY 6,948m.

In conjunction with the interim dividend, Meitec has revised its full-year dividend forecast upward. The new year-end dividend forecast is JPY 91.00 per share, up from JPY 89.00, resulting in a total annual dividend of JPY 181.00 per share (previous forecast: JPY 175.00). This revision aligns with the updated full-year consolidated net income forecast of JPY 13,900m.

The company's strong performance in the second quarter, with consolidated net sales rising 3.8% to JPY 68,352m and operating profit increasing 11.6% to JPY 10,063m, underpins these revised dividend payouts. Despite challenges in recruitment, Meitec's engineering solutions business maintained robust orders and utilization rates.
