Seibu Electric raised its ordinary profit forecast for the current fiscal year from the previous forecast and increased its record-profit forecast further. The revisions substantially raise the outlook for the first half and full year.
Seibu Electric raised its consolidated ordinary profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 from the previous forecast of ¥4.41 billion to ¥5.17 billion, and expects the profit growth rate to expand to 20.5%. Accordingly, it has increased its full-year record-profit forecast further.
At the same time, consolidated ordinary profit for the April-September period (the first half) was revised upward by 34.3%, from the previous forecast of ¥1.61 billion to ¥2.16 billion, while first-half profit growth is now expected to expand to 54.1%.
The current-year forecasts are sales of ¥42,860 million, ordinary profit of ¥5,170 million, net profit of ¥3,600 million, revised EPS of ¥239.4 and a revised dividend of ¥90, with the revision rate set at +20.0%.
Looking ahead, demand for capital investment related to automation and labor saving, as well as in the AI and semiconductor-related markets, is expected to remain firm, alongside demand for disaster prevention and mitigation and the renewal of social infrastructure. Against the backdrop of the upside in the interim outlook, the company plans to revise its full-year forecast as well.
