The latest announcement is out from CK San-Etsu Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5757) ).

CK San-Etsu has revised its full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, projecting higher net sales and operating profit than previously expected, driven by increased sales volumes in its copper and brass business after acquiring MITANI SHINDO and by higher-than-planned copper prices. However, a sharp rise in copper prices since October 2025 has led to derivative-related non-operating losses aimed at hedging commodity price risks, resulting in downward revisions to ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent, underscoring both the growth in its core operations and the earnings volatility tied to raw material price movements.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5757) stock is a Buy with a Yen5118.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CK San-Etsu Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:5757 Stock Forecast page.
