Transaction Co., Ltd. (7818) raised its net profit forecast for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2026, by 5.6% to ¥4.53 billion and lifted its year-end dividend forecast to ¥32.50 per share from ¥31.00.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime-listed company's board approved the revision on Oct. 8, 2026, updating forecasts for the fiscal year from Sept. 1, 2025, to Aug. 31, 2026, that were published on April 14, 2026. Sales are now expected at ¥31.52 billion, 5.1% above the previous forecast.

|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | ¥30.0 billion | ¥31.52 billion | 5.1% |
| Operating profit | ¥6.30 billion | ¥6.40 billion | 1.6% |
| Ordinary profit | ¥6.45 billion | ¥6.59 billion | 2.2% |

In the previous fiscal year ended August 2025, the company posted sales of ¥27.45 billion, operating profit of ¥5.71 billion and net profit of ¥4.08 billion.
The company said the fiscal year was the first under its fifth medium-term management plan, covering the years ending August 2026 through August 2030 and announced on Oct. 15, 2025. It pursued four priority strategies, including expanding its e-commerce and entertainment (IP) businesses and strengthening its own factories. Sales to end users and through e-commerce rose sharply, lifestyle products grew strongly and eco products performed well.
To limit the impact of a weaker yen, higher oil prices and logistics disruptions linked to tensions in the Middle East, the company hedged a portion of its foreign-exchange exposure, secured raw materials and built up inventory including semi-finished goods, keeping results strong from the third quarter onward. Continued pay increases for employees are expected to cut its tax burden by ¥101 million under the wage-hike promotion tax system.
In line with its policy of a payout ratio of at least 40%, the company raised its year-end dividend forecast by ¥1.50. The interim dividend was zero. Adjusted for a 2-for-1 stock split effective Sept. 1, 2025, the payout is ¥4 higher than the previous year's and would mark a 15th consecutive dividend increase since listing.
