Adtec Plasma Technology's share price rose sharply after the company announced its results last Friday, closing at ¥5,630, up ¥705 from the previous day. The company raised its sales and profit outlook for the current fiscal year and indicated plans to increase the dividend.
Following the release after last Friday's close of the results for the fiscal year ending August 2026 and the outlook for the current fiscal year, the company's shares saw strong buying interest before the open, maintained a strong bid throughout the day and ultimately posted a sharp further gain, with trading executed at the limit-up price.
Operating profit for the previous fiscal year rose 41.7% year on year to ¥2.562 billion, due to a recovery in orders for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. For the current fiscal year, the company forecasts sales of ¥21.5 billion, up 54.8%, and operating profit of ¥5.3 billion, approximately 2.1 times the previous fiscal year's level.
The company indicated plans to change the annual dividend from ¥30 in the previous fiscal year to ¥50. The share price has renewed its year-to-date high, and future developments are likely to focus on profit-taking and the sustainability of supply and demand conditions.
Following the announcement of these results and the outlook, investors are focusing on the growth outlook for the company's next fiscal year's results and share-price trends.
