Central Japan Railway's first-half revenue rose 3% year-on-year to JPY 1,013 billion, but EBIT slipped 2% to JPY 447 billion as cost inflation outpaced fare growth. Management increased full-year EBIT guidance by 8%, lifted DPS guidance by 6%, and announced a new share buyback.
JR Central owns Japan's premier Shinkansen, which faces little competition from competing modes of transportation.
The Chuo Shinkansen project is huge and complex. Further construction cost overruns are possible.
