Business Engineering Corp. raises forecasts, announces stock split and dividend hike

Business Engineering Corporation has revised its consolidated financial results forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, upwards across all key metrics. Net sales are now projected at 24,000 million yen, operating profit at 6,000 million yen, ordinary profit at 6,000 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent at 4,400 million yen. This upward revision is primarily attributed to strong second-quarter performance, driven by robust IT investments in the manufacturing industry and higher gross profit from increased sales.

The company also announced a five-for-one stock split of its common shares, effective January 1, 2026, to enhance market liquidity and expand its investor base. Concurrently, the annual dividend forecast for FY2026 has been increased, with a projected 37.6 yen per share post-split. The shareholder benefit system will be abolished after the distribution with a record date of December 31, 2025, to ensure fair profit distribution.

This strategic move aligns with Business Engineering Corporation's "Management Vision 2026 Revised Version" and "BE 2030" growth strategy, aiming for sustained corporate value enhancement and record highs in both sales and profits. Total authorized shares will increase to 240,000,000 post-split.
