chugoku electric power raises profit and dividend forecasts
The Chugoku Electric Power Co. revised its full-year 2026 financial forecast, increasing expected consolidated operating profit from ¥95 billion to ¥115 billion and profit attributable to owners from ¥65 billion to ¥81 billion. The upward revision reflects stronger supply-demand profit and gains from fuel cost adjustment timing. Non-consolidated profit forecasts were also raised, with earnings per share now projected at ¥197.3, up from ¥152.8. The company lifted its annual dividend forecast to ¥27 per share, including a ¥17 year-end payout, and confirmed plans to adopt a dividend-on-equity policy from FY2027.
