Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings ( (JP:4188) ) has shared an update.

Mitsubishi Chemical Group has sharply cut its profit outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, while keeping sales and core operating income forecasts unchanged at ¥3.672 trillion and ¥250 billion, respectively. The company now expects operating income of ¥70 billion and net income attributable to owners of the parent of ¥47 billion, reductions of about 60% and 62% from its previous forecast, reflecting additional non-recurring losses tied to structural reform measures, including withdrawal from its coke and carbon materials business. Segment-level core earnings projections remain intact, underlining that the downgrade is driven by one-off charges rather than a deterioration in underlying operations, as the group continues its portfolio restructuring following the separation of Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4188) stock is a Buy with a Yen1151.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings stock, see the JP:4188 Stock Forecast page.
