Alconix sets interim dividend despite slight profit decline in first half

Alconix Corporation (TSE:3036) resolved an interim dividend of 42 yen per share, totaling 1,278 million yen, with an effective date of November 25, 2025. This dividend is based on the fiscal period ending September 30, 2025, and aligns with the previously announced forecast for the second quarter. The company’s consolidated financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, show net sales increased by 6.7% year-on-year to 102,046 million yen. However, ordinary profit decreased by 1.8% to 3,960 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent declined by 3.3% to 2,573 million yen.

All four segments—Electronic and Advanced Materials, Aluminum and Copper Products, Equipment and Materials, and Metal Processing—contributed to the sales increase. The Electronic and Advanced Materials segment saw a 31.0% sales increase to 21,214 million yen and a 2.2% profit increase to 1,487 million yen. The Metal Processing segment recorded a 13.6% sales increase to 19,658 million yen and a substantial 56.3% profit increase to 2,218 million yen. Conversely, the Aluminum and Copper Products segment experienced a profit decline of 945 million yen, resulting in a loss of 274 million yen, due to lower profit margins and sluggish demand.

Despite the slight decline in profit, Alconix maintains its full-year consolidated earnings forecasts announced on May 15, 2025. The company's total assets increased to 198,105 million yen as of September 30, 2025, from 196,634 million yen as of March 31, 2025.
