JMACS Japan hits daily limit down on weak fiscal 2027 profit guidance

JMACS Japan <5817> was untraded at its daily limit down of 1,385 yen on April 14, as a weak profit outlook for the current year overshadowed record results for the prior term. The company announced its fiscal year ended February 2026 results at 2 p.m., reporting sales of 6.028 billion yen (up 15.9% year-on-year) and a net profit that jumped 3.4-fold to 400 million yen, exceeding its initial plan.

The sharp sell-off was triggered by the forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027. While JMACS expects sales to rise 4.5% to 6.3 billion yen, it projects net profit to slide 38.1% to 248 million yen. As a manufacturer of wires and cables, the company had drawn significant investor interest on expectations of AI and data center-related growth. The conservative guidance appears to have deeply disappointed those anticipating sustained profit expansion.

Despite the downbeat outlook, the company raised its year-end dividend for the previous fiscal year to 15 yen from an earlier forecast of 10 yen. It plans to maintain its annual dividend at 15 yen for the current fiscal year.
