Sankyu stock starts a 5-for-1 split as profit jumps

Sankyu stock entered its 5-for-1 split on October 1, 2026, after the logistics group reported a 40.9 percent year-over-year increase in first-quarter profit attributable to owners. The split changes the share count, while the company's full-year sales forecast remains JPY 638.5 billion.

Profit growth leads the update

According to Quartr on September 1, 2026, Sankyu generated JPY 154.564 billion in net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 0.4 percent from the prior year. Operating profit rose 6.2 percent to JPY 10.218 billion, while profit attributable to owners reached JPY 8.873 billion.

The earnings mix was more favorable than the sales line. Basic earnings per share increased to JPY 177.02 from JPY 120.28, a 47.2 percent gain, according to the same Q1 summary.

Guidance points to measured growth

Sankyu's full-year forecast calls for JPY 638.5 billion in net sales, up 1.1 percent year over year. The company projects operating profit of JPY 47.0 billion, an 8.7 percent increase, and profit attributable to owners of JPY 33.0 billion, up 4.7 percent, according to Quartr.

The split is the key structural change for shareholders. Sankyu's Q1 guidance already reflects the five-for-one adjustment, so the post-split earnings-per-share comparison must be read on a revised share basis.

Stock trades inside yearly range

On the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Sankyu stock was at JPY 1,573.00 on October 1, 2026 at 10:17 a.m. JST. The price stood between the JPY 1,542.00 52-week low and the JPY 2,013.00 52-week high, while market capitalization was JPY 394.3 billion on the same date.

For the next checkpoint, Quartr lists October 30, 2026 as Sankyu's next earnings date. That report will show whether the 40.9 percent profit increase is continuing beyond the June quarter.
