SBI Securities has downgraded Ricoh Leasing (TSE: 8566) from Buy to Neutral, setting a price target of ¥7,100, as concerns over rising funding costs and weaker near-term earnings growth offset the company’s strong revenue outlook and shareholder returns. Ricoh Leasing expects revenue to increase in fiscal 2026, but operating profit and net income are projected to decline as higher Japanese interest rates raise financing costs. At the same time, the company plans to significantly increase its dividend to ¥256 per share, supporting an attractive forward dividend yield at recent share prices. The SBI Securities downgrade therefore appears to reflect limited upside after the stock’s recent gains rather than a deterioration in Ricoh Leasing’s underlying business, making the company’s earnings outlook, interest-rate exposure, dividend policy, and ¥7,100 price target key factors for investors watching Ricoh Leasing stock.
