Business

MARUFUJI SHEET PILING CO.,LTD. was founded in 1926 and marked its 100th anniversary in 2026 as a company specializing in steel heavy temporary materials for construction foundation work. In addition to the sales and leasing of heavy temporary materials such as sheet piles, H-shaped steel, steel earth-retaining materials, and road decking plates, the company provides construction, processing, and transportation services in an integrated manner as ancillary to its material supply. Its major customers are large and mid-sized general contractors such as Kajima Corporation, Obayashi Corporation, Ando Hazama Kogyo, and Kumagai Gumi, and its sales territory extends from Hokkaido to the Kansai region. Its subsidiary Fuji Transportation Co., Ltd. handles transportation operations, while D.K. Com Co., Ltd. handles part of the construction work. The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

Net sales of ¥40,340 million (FY2026, ending March 2026) break down into: construction revenue ¥14,897 million (36.9%), sales revenue ¥13,613 million (33.7%), transportation revenue ¥3,328 million (8.3%), leasing revenue ¥5,299 million (13.1%), and processing revenue ¥3,200 million (7.9%), forming a multi-layered structure. The company procures materials primarily through trading companies handling Nippon Steel products, and creates added value by providing an integrated service from material supply through construction for major construction companies. The factory division also handles repair, maintenance, and processing of used materials.

Company Strengths

Founded in 1926, the company specialized in heavy temporary materials in 1954 and changed to its current trade name in 1963, giving it over 70 years of specialized operating experience. Its major customers are large and mid-tier construction companies such as Kajima Corporation, Obayashi Corporation, Ando Hazama Corporation, and Kumagai Gumi, and it has built a nationwide sales network spanning from Hokkaido to the Kansai region. In the previous fiscal year, Kajima Corporation alone accounted for 15.0% of net sales (¥5,334 million), reflecting the depth of this business relationship.

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales composition was diversified across five business forms: Construction Contracting Services 36.9%, Sales 33.7%, Leasing 13.1%, Transportation Services 8.3%, and Processing Services 7.9%. Construction contracting revenue showed the highest growth, up 18.3% year on year, growing to become the largest item in overall sales. A revenue structure not dependent on sales of a single material has contributed to improved profitability, with gross profit reaching ¥7,834 million, up 21.3% year on year.

As of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), total net assets stood at ¥32,733 million, with an equity ratio of 71.2% (up 0.9 percentage points from the previous fiscal year). The company has low reliance on interest-bearing debt and possesses the financial strength to cover capital expenditures (¥1,635 million in the current period) with operating cash flow (¥2,255 million). It has a foundation that allows it to maintain financial soundness while planning ¥10 billion in growth investment over five years under its medium-term management plan.

ENVALITH's Perspective

The company front-loaded achievement of the quantitative targets of its 3-year medium-term management plan (started FY2025, ending March 2025)—consolidated net sales of ¥40.0 billion and ordinary income of ¥2.0 billion—in its second year (FY2026, ending March 2026). Specific quantitative target levels for the new 5-year medium-term management plan starting FY2026 (with FY2030 as the goal year) have not been disclosed, making it difficult for investors to evaluate the growth scenario. Clarifying the new plan's targets and the path to achieving them will be key to the stock's valuation.

The consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for net sales of ¥41,000 million (up 1.6% year on year), operating income of ¥2,000 million (down 5.2%), and net income of ¥1,750 million (down 11.0%), indicating a profit decline. External factors cited include rising construction costs, higher labor costs, and construction delays due to overtime work regulations, but given the high achievement level of the prior fiscal year, the plan may be conservative. Close attention should be paid to any divergence between actual progress and the forecast.

The dividend per share for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was set at ¥200 (including a commemorative dividend of ¥10), a significant increase from ¥130 in the prior fiscal year, raising the payout ratio to 36.2% (from 30.3% in the prior year). The company also conducted share buybacks totaling ¥898 million, which became a major component of financing activities cash flow. Combined with a 1-for-5 stock split (effective April 1, 2026) aimed at improving liquidity, the company's management stance is increasingly conscious of capital costs. On the other hand, the projected dividend for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is ¥38 (on a post-split basis, equivalent to ¥190 annually pre-split), which is effectively unchanged, so it will be necessary to confirm the capacity for continued dividend increases.

Growth Strategy

Under the new 5-year medium-term management plan (targeting FY2030), the company continues to strengthen its management foundation and pursue growth investments.

Through profitability-focused sales activities and the promotion of appropriate pricing improvements, the company raised its operating profit margin on net sales to 5.2%. It will continue to strengthen proposals of high-value-added construction methods best suited to each region and site, aiming to improve the quality of construction orders received.

An automated maintenance line for road decking plates was introduced at the Ibaraki Plant and began full-scale operation in December 2025. Improved maintenance capacity and productivity will strengthen materials supply capability and reduce costs.

Having achieved the quantitative targets of the 3-year medium-term management plan ahead of schedule, the company will launch a new 5-year medium-term management plan starting in FY2026. With FY2030 as the goal, the company will work to strengthen its management foundation and pursue growth investments. Details are provided in the document "Formulation of the Medium-Term Management Plan and Response Toward Management Conscious of Capital Costs and Stock Price (Update)," published on May 14, 2026.

A 5-for-1 stock split took effect on April 1, 2026, improving stock liquidity. The dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was increased to ¥200 (from ¥130 in the previous fiscal year), with a payout ratio of 36.2%. The company also conducted a share buyback of ¥898 million. It also announced the introduction of a performance-linked stock compensation plan, strengthening incentive design for management.
