The latest announcement is out from Kuraray Co ( (JP:3405) ).
Kuraray reported fiscal 2025 net sales of ¥808.4 billion, down from ¥826.9 billion a year earlier, as operating income fell to ¥58.9 billion and ordinary income to ¥51.5 billion. Net income attributable to owners of the parent dropped sharply to ¥7.5 billion, mainly due to impairment losses in the Isoprene segment, despite relatively stable foreign exchange rates and lower domestic naphtha prices.
Management attributed the decline in operating income primarily to negative inventory valuation effects and lower sales volumes across its businesses. Compared with the company’s November 2025 forecast, results were broadly in line on sales and operating profit but significantly weaker at the bottom line, underscoring pressure on profitability in certain segments and highlighting ongoing challenges in demand and portfolio performance.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3405) stock is a Sell with a Yen1540.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kuraray Co stock, see the JP:3405 Stock Forecast page.
