JTEKT Takes ¥50bn Hit on European Auto Exit, Slashes Profit Outlook

JTEKT ( (JP:6473) ) has shared an announcement.

JTEKT Corporation will book substantial one-off charges in fiscal 2025–26 linked to the transfer of its European automotive business, including a ¥24.4 billion loss on the divestment at the consolidated level and a ¥32.2 billion extraordinary loss on a non-consolidated basis. Additionally, it will recognize a ¥28.6 billion non-operating allowance for doubtful accounts related to financially weakened European subsidiaries, though this provision will not affect consolidated earnings as these units are already fully consolidated.

Despite steady revenue guidance of ¥1.88 trillion and an upward revision to business profit, the company has sharply cut its forecasts for operating profit and bottom-line earnings for the year ending March 31, 2026. Operating profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent are now expected to fall 60% from previous guidance, underscoring the short-term earnings hit from European restructuring even as underlying operations show resilience, a trade-off closely watched by investors and creditors.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6473) stock is a Hold with a Yen2262.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on JTEKT stock, see the JP:6473 Stock Forecast page.
