Signpost lifts operating profit forecast 66.7%, resumes ordinary dividend

Fri, Oct 09, 2026 15:30 JST　Signpost Corporation (3996.T)　Consulting　中文

Signpost Corporation (3996) raised its operating profit forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027 by 66.7% to ¥125 million from ¥75 million and said it will resume ordinary dividends, projecting a year-end payout of ¥6 per share including a ¥5 commemorative dividend.

FY operating profit forecast¥75 million → ¥125 million

FY net profit forecast¥89 million → ¥137 million

Year-end dividend forecast¥6 per share (¥1 ordinary + ¥5 commemorative)

First-half sales¥1.892 billion (+30.2%)

The consultancy kept its sales forecast unchanged at ¥3.85 billion. It raised its ordinary profit forecast to ¥122 million from ¥72 million and its net profit forecast by 53.9% to ¥137 million from ¥89 million, or ¥10.70 per share.

The company said first-half consulting sales were solid on pricing adjustments and higher added value, while orders in its DX and regional co-creation business also exceeded plan. Under its new medium-term management plan, CRAFT2030, announced the same day, Signpost will focus on those two businesses and scale back its innovation business. The impact of that downsizing is still being assessed and is not reflected in the forecasts.

For the first half, sales rose 30.2% to ¥1.892 billion. Operating profit was ¥76 million, compared with a ¥20 million loss a year earlier, and net profit was ¥92 million, including a ¥19 million gain on the sale of shares in affiliate TOUCH TO GO. Consulting segment profit rose 52.7% to ¥367 million, while the innovation segment's loss widened to ¥111 million from ¥68 million.

Signpost has not paid a dividend since the year-end payout for the fiscal year ended February 2020. It will add a ¥1 ordinary dividend to the ¥5 commemorative dividend for its 20th anniversary announced on July 10, and targets a 30% payout ratio from the fiscal year ending February 2028.

The ¥6 year-end dividend will be put to shareholders at the 20th annual general meeting scheduled for May 2027.
