Inui Global Logistics Sees Net Profit Rise to Yen 2.9bn in FY2027/3　乾汽船、2027年３月期の純利益29億円

Forecast Dividend Raised to Yen 34.72 per Share as Net Profit Expected to Increase 3.5-Fold Year on Year Under 30% Payout Policy

前期比３・５倍、年間配当34円に増配予想、配当性向30％基準

Inui Global Logistics expects consolidated net profit for the fiscal year ending March 2027 to reach Yen 2.9bn, approximately 3.5 times higher than the previous year.

The company expects charter rates for the core handy-size bulk carrier market to remain firm. Supply pressure from newbuildings is seen as limited, while scrapping of ageing vessels is also progressing, leading the company to view the handy-size market as likely to remain resilient.

The company’s dividend policy is based on a payout ratio of 30%. As net profit is expected to increase from the previous year, annual dividends are projected to rise to Yen 34.72 per share, compared with Yen 9.93 per share a year earlier.

乾汽船、2027年３月期の純利益29億円

前期比３・５倍、年間配当34円に増配予想、配当性向30％基準

　乾汽船の2027年３月期連結業績は純利益が前期比約３・５倍の29億円になる見通しだ。主力のハンディ市況は用船料が堅調に推移。新造船の供給圧力が限定的なほか、老齢船のスクラップも進み、ハンディ市況は底堅く推移するとみる。同社の配当方針は配当性向30％が基本。純利益が前期に比べ増加するため、年間配当額は１株当たり34・72円（前期は同９・93円）の増配を見込む。
