Mitsui Chemicals ( (JP:4183) ) just unveiled an update.

Mitsui Chemicals reported a decline in FY2025 consolidated sales revenue to ¥1,668.8 billion from ¥1,809.2 billion, with operating income before special items edging down to ¥100.0 billion. Profitability weakened mainly in Mobility Solutions and Basic & Green Materials, though ICT Solutions and Life & Healthcare Solutions showed resilience, while net income attributable to owners of the parent rose modestly to ¥34.4 billion.

Specialty chemicals domains remained the core earnings driver, offsetting part of the downturn in commodity-related businesses, as the company continued to shift its portfolio toward higher-margin areas. Capital expenditures increased to ¥162.2 billion and R&D spending also grew, underscoring continued investment in future growth despite softer volumes and pricing, while the balance sheet stayed stable with a slightly improved net D/E ratio and solid positive operating cash flow.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4183) stock is a Buy with a Yen2700.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mitsui Chemicals stock, see the JP:4183 Stock Forecast page.
