MAEDA CORPORATION (E00051) Stock Price

Maeda Corporation is a comprehensive construction company with architecture, civil engineering, and paving works as its core businesses. The company's primary operations include construction of residential and office buildings, as well as civil engineering projects such as bridges and tunnels. Through its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, the group provides a wide range of services across the construction industry. In recent years, the company has expanded into new infrastructure-related sectors, including renewable energy projects and airport and road operations.

The company serves diverse customers ranging from government agencies to private enterprises, with contract revenues from construction projects forming the foundation of its earnings. Inter-group project orders and material procurement are actively conducted, with subsidiary Maeda Road handling paving operations and Maeda Manufacturing managing construction machinery operations, enabling efficient business operations through group synergies. Additionally, solar and wind power generation projects provide stable long-term electricity sales revenues.

The company's business is organized into six segments: architecture and civil engineering as core operations, paving, manufacturing of construction machinery and materials, infrastructure operations including solar power generation and airport management, and other businesses including real estate. The infrastructure operations segment is particularly distinctive, with the company participating in road operations in Aichi Prefecture and the operation of Sendai International Airport, demonstrating its integrated service model from construction through operations.

Maeda Corporation has announced an ambitious management strategy aimed at transforming into a "comprehensive infrastructure services company" by fiscal year 2030. The company group has set ambitious financial targets of 9 billion yen in revenue and 10 billion yen in operating profit for fiscal 2030. This transformation will shift from the traditional contract-based business model to a new service model that handles infrastructure comprehensively—from planning and proposals through operations and maintenance. The strategy will maximize group-wide synergies through the establishment of a joint holding company with Maeda Road and Maeda Manufacturing.

The company's priority investment areas are concentrated in three strategic pillars. First, productivity reform focuses on maximizing added value, optimizing fixed costs, and advancing group financial strategy. Second, establishing new revenue foundations involves securing market position in domestic and international infrastructure services and expanding business domains further. Third, strengthening and improving corporate structure involves advancing group talent strategy and enhancing governance. These initiatives aim to build a high-margin, stable revenue base that is resilient to external factors.

Regarding new market development, the company is actively entering markets for infrastructure maintenance, repair, and renewal through public-private partnerships, as well as rapidly expanding carbon-neutral-related markets, anticipating the decline of the traditional new construction contract market. While maintaining contract operations as its core business, the company is expanding into upstream processes such as business investment and development, and downstream processes such as operations and maintenance. This positions the company to provide comprehensive solutions for addressing social challenges centered on infrastructure.

In technological innovation, the company is prioritizing work style reform and fundamental productivity improvements to address labor shortages. By advancing digitalization strategy and digital transformation collaboratively, the company is building a responsive and agile organization capable of adapting to rapid social change. Through effective use of big data and development of digital tools, the company is further strengthening group-wide engineering capabilities and working to become a company trusted by all stakeholders.
