Kanto Denka Kogyo Holds Profits Steady Amid Factory Fire and Mixed Demand

Kanto Denka Kogyo Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4047) ) has issued an update.

Kanto Denka Kogyo reported net sales of ¥46.7 billion and operating profit of ¥2.6 billion for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, both essentially flat year on year. Profit attributable to owners of the parent slipped to ¥1.7 billion, with basic earnings per share declining to ¥30.04, while ordinary profit rose 13.9% to ¥3.5 billion on higher foreign exchange gains.

Stronger demand from semiconductor manufacturers lifted specialty gas sales, but overall revenue was capped by disruption from a fire at the Shibukawa Factory and the absence of last year’s technology support fees for battery materials. Operating profit held steady as increased earnings in fundamental chemicals, higher specialty gas revenue, and reduced inventory valuation losses offset the fire’s impact, lower battery-related fees, and rising fixed costs, highlighting both the company’s operational resilience and its exposure to production and customer-mix risks.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4047) stock is a Hold with a Yen1366.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kanto Denka Kogyo Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4047 Stock Forecast page.
