Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Mazda Motor ( (JP:7261) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Mazda Motor reported a sharp deterioration in earnings for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, with net sales down 5.1% to ¥3.50 trillion and a swing to an operating loss of ¥23.1 billion. Ordinary income tumbled 76.1% to ¥37.4 billion and the group booked a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥14.7 billion, compared with a ¥90.6 billion profit a year earlier.

Despite the weak performance, Mazda’s balance sheet remained relatively stable, with total assets edging up to ¥4.21 trillion and an equity ratio of 43.0%, while net assets increased slightly. The company kept its dividend plan intact at a full-year ¥55 per share and revised its full-year forecast lower, now expecting net sales of ¥4.82 trillion and net income of ¥20 billion, implying a steep year-on-year earnings decline that signals ongoing pressure on profitability and returns for shareholders.
