NGK raised its net profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 to ¥100.0 billion from ¥82.0 billion and lifted its annual dividend forecast to ¥126 per share from ¥106, after first-half results beat its own guidance.
For the April-September half, revenue rose 13.8% year on year to ¥371.3 billion, operating profit climbed 43.5% to ¥69.9 billion and net profit attributable to owners of the parent jumped 154.7% to ¥60.8 billion. All exceeded the company's April 30 forecasts, which had called for revenue of ¥350.0 billion and net profit of ¥45.0 billion. Net profit was also lifted by higher gains on sales of investment securities and lower tax expenses tied to an April 1 reorganization of the electronic device business and the completed liquidation of an overseas subsidiary.
| Full year | Prior forecast | New forecast |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ¥710.0 billion | ¥770.0 billion |
| Operating profit | ¥107.0 billion | ¥130.0 billion |
| Ordinary profit | ¥105.0 billion | ¥126.0 billion |
| Net profit | ¥82.0 billion | ¥100.0 billion |
The Digital Society segment, driven by a sharp rise in AI-related semiconductor demand, grew sales 32.8% to ¥129.9 billion and operating profit 45.7% to ¥19.7 billion. Environment segment sales rose 8.0% to ¥208.8 billion. Energy & Industry sales fell 7.8% to ¥33.4 billion after the company decided last fiscal year to end NaS battery production and sales, but the segment swung to an operating profit of ¥4.2 billion from a loss of ¥1.4 billion.
The company assumes exchange rates of ¥150 to the dollar and ¥175 to the euro for the second half. The board approved an interim dividend of ¥63 per share, up from a forecast of ¥53 and ¥38 a year earlier, totaling ¥17.7 billion.
Next steps: the interim dividend takes effect on Dec. 2, 2026, and the semi-annual securities report is scheduled to be filed on Nov. 6, 2026.
