management plan \"GO BEYOND 2030\" starting in 2025. Particularly emphasizing profitability improvement and enhancement of shareholder returns, the company focuses on expanding equity spread and improving PBR as pillars of management. As of the end of 2025, ROE is 9.1% and equity spread is +4.0 points. They are advancing capital efficiency through continuation of stable dividends and sale of irrational policy-held shares. On the other hand, the PER is decreasing and PBR has fallen below 1x level.\n\n### Future Initiatives and Strategy\nGoing forward, the company will promote measures aimed at expanding equity spread by improving shareholder cost of capital, ROA, and financial leverage. Specifically, the three pillars are strengthening the high-growth and high-profit Fine Carbon business, emphasizing growth investment and shareholder returns, and reinforcing IR activities to enhance corporate value. In building its business portfolio, Nippon Carbon pursues profitability and growth in Fine Carbon, electrode materials, silicon carbide fibers, and new business areas, while maintaining stable annual dividends of \u00a5200 as a shareholder return policy.","jir_financial_highlights":"Return on Equity (ROE): 9.1% (End of 2025) (Unknown)\nEquity Spread: +4.0 points (End of 2025) (Unknown)\nNet Income per Share: \u00a5436.9 (Forecast for 2025) (Increasing trend)\nAnnual Dividend per Share: \u00a5200 (Ongoing) (Stable continuation)\nPrice Earnings Ratio (PER): 10.11 times (Forecast for 2025) (Decreasing trend)\nPrice Book-Value Ratio (PBR): Below 1x level (Forecast for 2025) (Decreasing trend)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NipponCarbon, #ManagementStrategy, #MediumTermManagementPlan, #ShareholderReturns, #EquitySpread","jir_key_figures":"Return on Equity (ROE): 9.1% (End of 2025)\nEquity Spread: +4.0 points (End of 2025)\nNet Income per Share: \u00a5436.9 (Forecast for 2025)","jir_meta_title":"Nippon Carbon Announces Management Initiatives Aiming for 9.1% ROE and Expanded Equity Spread by 2025","jir_meta_description":"Nippon Carbon promotes profitability improvement and enhanced shareholder returns based on the medium-term management plan \"GO BEYOND 2030\", targeting ROE of 9.1% and equity spread of +4.0 points by 2025.","jir_og_title":"Nippon Carbon Announces Management Initiatives Conscious of Cost of Capital","jir_og_description":"Nippon Carbon aims to improve profitability and enhance shareholder returns by targeting 9.1% ROE and an expanded equity spread in 2025.","jir_og_image_url":"\/assets\/og\/company-capital_policy.jpg","jir_chart_data_collection":"[]","ir_related_company":17346,"ir_release_date":"","ir_type":"","ir_is_new":false,"ir_document_url":"","jir_ir_type":"capital_policy","footnotes":""},"sector":[],"importance":[],"class_list":["post-36274","ir_release","type-ir_release","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
