Maxell Cuts Sales Outlook but Lifts Profit Forecast on Extraordinary Gain

The latest announcement is out from Maxell, Ltd. ( (JP:6810) ).

Maxell, Ltd. said it will book about 2.9 billion yen in extraordinary income from the sale of its equity stake in Wuxi Maxell Energy Co., Ltd., boosting bottom-line results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Despite this gain, the company faces headwinds from delayed recovery in semiconductor-related demand and higher raw material costs in its Energy segment, prompting a cut to its full-year sales and operating profit outlook while lifting its profit forecast attributable to owners of parent.

The revised guidance calls for net sales of 129.5 billion yen and operating profit of 7.9 billion yen, down 5.1% and 21.0% respectively from the prior forecast, but lifts net profit attributable to owners of parent to 8.2 billion yen. Segment data show Energy being revised upward on strong automotive and medical primary battery sales, while Functional Materials, Optics & Systems, and Value Co-Creation Businesses see lower expectations, underscoring uneven demand and cost pressures across Maxell’s portfolio.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6810) stock is a Buy with a Yen2800.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Maxell, Ltd. stock, see the JP:6810 Stock Forecast page.
