Nippon Denko Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5563) ) has shared an update.

Nippon Denko reported underlying ordinary profit of ¥5.3 billion for fiscal 2025, slightly up year on year and maintaining the ¥5.0 billion scale achieved since 2021, while accounting-basis ordinary profit fell to ¥2.7 billion due to a negative inventory impact of ¥2.2 billion. Management highlighted steady profit growth in businesses other than ferroalloys, progress on its medium-term plan through investments such as the new No. 5 incineration ash melting furnace, and continued shareholder returns, including a ¥4.0 billion share buyback in 2025, a ¥12.0 dividend with a commemorative component, and a projected ¥13.0 dividend for 2026 alongside a higher minimum payout level, signaling confidence in future earnings with a ¥6.0 billion profit projection for 2026.

The company guided for underlying and accounting-basis ordinary profit of ¥6.0 billion in fiscal 2026, assuming no inventory impact, suggesting a recovery in reported earnings and ongoing strengthening of its non-ferroalloy segments. By lifting its minimum dividend per share to ¥11.0 and maintaining an active buyback program, Nippon Denko is positioning itself as a stable income stock within the materials sector, balancing growth investments in new facilities with a clear commitment to enhancing shareholder value and smoothing volatility linked to inventory revaluations.
