Beauty Kadan scraps dividend after funeral shift turns outlook into a loss
Beauty Kadan now expects ¥7.3bn in sales, a ¥145mn operating loss and a ¥140mn net loss for the year to June 2026, versus its previous plan for ¥120mn of operating profit and ¥40mn of net profit. The company blamed weaker funeral-service volumes in some regions as customers shifted toward smaller ceremonies, plus persistently high labour and outsourcing costs, and cut the year-end dividend to zero from ¥5.25 a share.
Marubeni ends existing buyback after spending just under ¥60bn
The trading house finished an existing buyback after repurchasing 11,766,800 shares for just under ¥60bn by June 23. That falls short of the 20mn-share ceiling but effectively uses the cash cap, which makes this an execution scorecard on shareholder returns rather than a fresh promise of more.

Net sales reached ¥3.82tn, ordinary income ¥75.72bn and parent profit ¥42.53bn in the year to March 2026, all above a year earlier. Big numbers, yes, but still from a backward-looking annual report rather than new guidance.
Sanrio lifts annual dividend to ¥69 after record year in sales and profit
Sanrio reported revenue of ¥194.1bn for the year to March 2026, up 33.9%, while operating profit jumped 50.3% to ¥77.9bn and net profit attributable to owners rose 30.9% to ¥54.6bn. The company said all three were record highs, and net assets climbed to ¥156.0bn from ¥107.6bn. The board also approved a year-end dividend of ¥38 a share for March 31 holders, taking the full-year payout to ¥69 from ¥53 on a pre-split basis. One wrinkle worth keeping straight: Sanrio's 5-for-1 stock split took effect on April 1, so the current-year dividend forecast of ¥16 a share is shown on a post-split basis rather than on the same unit as last year's figure.

The company said its investment unit was at least ¥500,000 as of March 31, triggering a Tokyo Stock Exchange Rule 409 disclosure. Management says a lower unit could help liquidity, but there is no concrete plan or timetable.
Tiemco shifts from opposing to partnering with largest shareholder
Tiemco said it has agreed a cooperative framework with Kenka Synergy, which emerged from the May tender offer with 45.00% of voting rights. The pact covers profit growth, overseas expansion, digital transformation, ecommerce and the introduction or proposal of management and operational personnel, while Kenka Synergy also agreed to respect existing employment, business relationships and brand assets. That is a notable shift from the company's earlier opposition to the bid. Tiemco still has work to do on listing-maintenance measures and board reshaping, and it has set July 6 as the record date for an extraordinary shareholder meeting planned for late August.
Nakatayamafuku corrects past reports after cash-flow and shareholder-return errors
Nakatayamafuku corrected four annual securities reports, one half-year report and earnings summaries for the years to March 2025 and 2026 after finding a miscalculated shareholder total return and a cash-flow classification error. The company says neither past earnings nor financial position changed. The more useful fix for readers is cash flow. In the corrected summary for the year to March 2025, operating cash flow becomes a ¥6.2mn outflow instead of a ¥43.8mn inflow, while financing cash flow rises to ¥797.7mn from ¥747.7mn. Same cash balance, different story about where it came from.
