The plan targets an operating profit of 27 billion yen, sales of 255.5 billion yen, ROE above 9%, and ROIC above 6%. The dividend minimum is set at 120 yen, with a goal of maintaining a total shareholder return ratio of over 50% on average over three years. The company will promote transformation of its business portfolio, aiming to stabilize earnings from existing businesses while expanding growth areas and launching new ventures.

The company plans to implement shareholder returns flexibly through share buybacks alongside dividends. Although the recovery of sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts may result in lower-than-planned operating cash flows, investments in facilities and overseas projects will proceed as planned. Investments related to carbon neutrality and maintenance updates will also generally stay on schedule.","jir_financial_highlights":"FY2026.3 Sales: 223.7 billion yen (Unknown)\nFY2026.3 Operating Profit: 13.6 billion yen (Unknown)\nFY2028 Operating Profit Target: 27.0 billion yen (+13.4 billion yen compared to FY2025)\nFY2028 Sales Target: 255.5 billion yen (+31.8 billion yen compared to FY2025)\nROE: Above 9% (+3.2pt compared to FY2025)\nROIC: Above 6% (+2.7pt compared to FY2025)\nMinimum Dividend: 120 yen\/share (Set)\nTotal Shareholder Return Ratio (3-year average): Over 50% (Continuing target)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#SumitomoOsakaCement, #MidTermManagementPlan, #BusinessStrategy, #ShareholderReturn, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"FY2026.3 Sales: 223.7 billion yen\nFY2026.3 Operating Profit: 13.6 billion yen\nFY2028 Operating Profit Target: 27.0 billion yen (+13.4 billion yen compared to FY2025)\nFY2028 Sales Target: 255.5 billion yen (+31.8 billion yen compared to FY2025)\nROE Target: Over 9% (+3.2pt compared to FY2025)\nROIC Target: Over 6% (+2.7pt compared to FY2025)\nMinimum Dividend: 120 yen\/share\nTotal Shareholder Return Ratio (3-year average): Over 50%","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Sumitomo Osaka Cement\u3011FY2026-28 Mid-Term Management Plan\uff5cTargeting 27 billion yen Operating Profit","jir_meta_description":"Sumitomo Osaka Cement announces its FY2026-28 Mid-Term Management Plan, aiming for 27 billion yen operating profit, ROE above 9%, a minimum dividend of 120 yen, and a shareholder return ratio over 50%, while transforming its business portfolio.","jir_og_title":"\u3010Sumitomo Osaka Cement\u3011FY2026-28 Mid-Term Management Plan\uff5cTargeted 27 billion yen Operating Profit","jir_og_description":"The FY2026-28 Mid-Term Management Plan sets a target of 27 billion yen operating profit, ROE above 9%, a minimum dividend of 120 yen, and promotes expansion in growth areas and enhanced shareholder return.","jir_og_image_url":"\/assets\/og\/company-business_update.jpg","jir_chart_data_collection":"[]","ir_related_company":9402,"ir_release_date":"","ir_type":"","ir_is_new":false,"ir_document_url":"","jir_ir_type":"business_update","footnotes":""},"sector":[],"importance":[],"class_list":["post-49149","ir_release","type-ir_release","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
