F.C.C. Co., Ltd. (7296), a maker of motorcycle and automobile clutches, on Nov. 4 raised its net profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 to ¥18.0 billion from ¥17.0 billion and lifted its annual dividend forecast to ¥190 per share from ¥180.

Full-year net profit forecast¥18.0 billion (from ¥17.0 billion)
First-half revenue¥147.39 billion (up 16.6%)
Annual dividend forecast¥190 per share (from ¥180)
Interim dividend effective dateDec. 7, 2026

The revision follows first-half results that beat the company's Aug. 4 forecast. Sales of motorcycle clutches in India and automobile clutches in North America increased, and the yen was weaker than assumed, the company said.

For the April-September half, revenue rose 16.6% from a year earlier to ¥147.39 billion, operating profit climbed 40.8% to ¥14.27 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent rose 36.8% to ¥12.26 billion, 30.5% above the earlier forecast of ¥9.4 billion.

ItemPreviousRevised
Revenue¥265.0 billion¥280.0 billion
Operating profit¥22.0 billion¥23.5 billion
Net profit¥17.0 billion¥18.0 billion
EPS¥356.43¥377.40

The revised full-year forecast implies revenue growth of 7.3% and a 24.2% rise in operating profit, while net profit would be 4.1% below the previous year's ¥18.76 billion. The company assumes a rate of ¥150.00 per U.S. dollar from the third quarter onward, compared with ¥159.38 in the first half.

The board approved an interim dividend of ¥95 per share, up from a forecast of ¥90 and ¥67 a year earlier, totaling ¥4,507 million. The year-end dividend is also forecast at ¥95. Under its 13th medium-term plan, the company targets the higher of a 50% consolidated payout ratio or a 3.5% dividend on equity ratio.

The company plans to file its semiannual report on Nov. 11, 2026, and hold an earnings briefing on Nov. 13. The interim dividend takes effect and payment begins on Dec. 7.
