Matsuda Sangyo raises earnings and dividend forecasts on strong performance

Matsuda Sangyo revised its consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, driven by strong performance in its precious metals and food business segments. For the first half (April 1 to September 30, 2025), the company now projects net sales of JPY 288,000m, operating profit of JPY 8,000m, ordinary profit of JPY 8,400m, and profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 6,000m.

For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the company now expects net sales of JPY 550,000m, operating profit of JPY 15,400m, ordinary profit of JPY 16,200m, and profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 11,500m. This revision reflects increased precious metal recycling volumes, higher sales prices, and strong proposal-based sales in the food segment.

Concurrently, Matsuda Sangyo revised its annual dividend forecast upward from JPY 90.00 to JPY 100.00 per share, with both the second-quarter and year-end dividends increasing by JPY 5.00 to JPY 50.00 per share.
