  • Obayashi Net Sales Hit ¥2.59T in FY2025 on Green Push, Tech Drive
    July 4, 2026, 11:18 PM EDT. Obayashi Corporation logged net sales of ¥2.59 trillion and operating profit of ¥194.60 billion for FY2025, with results showing steady momentum. Obayashi is leaning into technology upgrades and green energy, keeping ESG as a central theme. Buybacks and raised dividends point to it sticking with disciplined capital returns. The group is branching out with moves like Mega Sardines in food, but investors are still eyeing construction margins and how overseas jobs pan out. Some risk comes from slower profit growth and possible governance shakeups. Some in the market still see shares as undervalued. Obayashi stays positioned as a stable investment, driven by ESG projects more than big growth leaps.
