MIMAKI ENGINEERING CO.,LTD. <6638> surged in afternoon trading. During mid-day trade, the company upgraded its consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2026, projecting sales of 83.7 billion yen (down 0.3% year-on-year), up from a previous forecast of 82.5 billion yen. Operating profit is now seen at 9.4 billion yen (up 3.2%), up from 8.5 billion yen, while net profit was revised to 6.7 billion yen (up 8.8%) from 5.5 billion yen. With each profit line swinging from a projected decline to growth and hitting record highs, the announcement fueled market buying. The company also hiked its year-end dividend forecast to 30 yen, including a 5 yen commemorative dividend to mark its 50th anniversary in August 2025. The planned annual dividend stands at 55 yen, up from the previous fiscal year's actual payout of 52.50 yen.

For the fiscal year ending March 2026, sales to the SG (sign graphics) market for advertising and signage surged in the fourth quarter (January-March) for both new and existing products. Additionally, the TA (textile and apparel) market saw a moderated year-on-year decline for DTF (direct-to-film) models, while robust ink sales across all markets contributed to the upbeat results.
