Sekisui House Reports Record Q1 Profit and Sales With Higher Dividend on Domestic Growth Sekisui House reported record first-quarter profit and sales, supported mainly by its domestic development and rental housing businesses.
Overseas operations were weaker in comparison, but the domestic segments and gains from the sale of investment securities lifted overall results.
The company raised its full-year dividend plan while keeping full-year earnings guidance unchanged, citing ongoing market uncertainties.
The mix of strong domestic performance and higher extraordinary income from security sales has given Sekisui House room to increase its dividend without adjusting its earnings outlook.
Investors may want to watch how the weaker overseas operations evolve, since a sustained drag from those businesses could limit how much support domestic strength can provide over time. Declared Dividend • May 11
