Glory Lifts Dividend Target and Signals 2027 Earnings Recovery After 2026 Profit Drop Glory reported a 29.2% decline in operating profit and a 37.2% decline in net profit attributable to owners for fiscal 2026.
The company raised its annual dividend and lifted its dividend-on-equity target from at least 3% to 4%, indicating a stronger emphasis on shareholder returns.
Management cited expanding overseas retail-focused operations as a key earnings driver and projected 6.0% revenue growth and a 30% profit increase for fiscal 2027.
The combination of weaker 2026 profitability, a higher dividend target, and projections for earnings recovery in 2027 suggests management confidence in the underlying business, particularly in overseas retail operations.
Investors may want to weigh that confidence and the increased focus on capital efficiency against the recent profit declines and the execution risk around the 2027 targets. Annonce • Apr 04
