Kuraray Co ( (JP:3405) ) has provided an announcement.
Kuraray reported consolidated net sales of ¥200.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a 3.1% year-on-year increase, while operating income fell 20.3% to ¥14.9 billion and ordinary income declined 22.9% to ¥13.7 billion. Net income attributable to owners of the parent dropped 35.0% to ¥7.8 billion, indicating that despite modest top-line growth, profit margins are under pressure, which may signal rising costs or weaker pricing power and could weigh on shareholder returns in the near term.
Earnings per share decreased to ¥25.62 from ¥37.07 a year earlier, underscoring the sharp contraction in bottom-line performance. However, comprehensive income swung to a positive ¥16.6 billion from a loss in the prior-year period, suggesting improved valuation or foreign exchange effects on assets that partially offset weaker core profitability and may soften the impact on the company’s overall financial position.
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.
