SECOM sees earnings growth driven by rising security awareness
SECOM CO., LTD. <9735> shares are drawing market attention. The leading security services firm's consolidated operating profit for the fiscal year ended March 2026 rose 11.1% year-on-year to a record 160.33 billion yen. Amid heightened security awareness among individuals and corporations following a series of robberies involving illicitly recruited individuals, SECOM's security services business has performed robustly. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, operating profit is projected to increase 3.2% year-on-year to 165.50 billion yen, marking another record high. Price hikes for residential security services are also expected to provide tailwinds, fueling market expectations for upside potential toward the 170.00 billion yen level.
The company plans to increase its annual dividend by 20 yen to 120 yen for the current fiscal year. After hitting a record high of 6,637 yen on May 27, the stock price has been consolidating, but underpinned by steady earnings expansion, the stock is poised to perform well in the 7,000 yen range going forward.
