The latest update is out from Harima Chemicals Group, Inc. ( (JP:4410) ).
Harima Chemicals Group has decided to sell its entire 24.6% stake in Swedish joint venture SunPine AB, held via Lawter Europe BV, to existing shareholder VAROPreem AB, Sweden’s largest fuel refining and sales company, and is now negotiating final contract terms. The divestment is aimed at improving capital efficiency by monetizing policy‑held shares and reallocating capital to growth areas, while Harima expects no disruption to its tall oil rosin procurement or to FY2025 results, reflecting a response to easing rosin demand and a shift in portfolio strategy.
SunPine has supplied Harima with tall oil rosin under long‑term contracts, and these arrangements are expected to remain in place despite the ownership change, underscoring that the move is a financial and strategic rebalancing rather than an operational retreat. The decision follows Preem’s exercise of its preferential right to acquire the shares on terms equivalent to an external investor’s offer, consolidating SunPine’s ownership among Swedish partners as Harima reviews the potential impact on FY2026 earnings and refocuses capital on higher‑growth segments.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4410) stock is a Hold with a Yen1056.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Harima Chemicals Group, Inc. stock, see the JP:4410 Stock Forecast page.
