Nippon Coke & Engineering Restores Earnings Forecast After Kitakyushu Plant Fire

An update from Nippon Coke & Engineering Company, Limited ( (JP:3315) ) is now available.

Nippon Coke & Engineering has issued its full-year consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, after previously withdrawing guidance due to uncertainty following a fire at its Kitakyushu Coking Works. The company now projects net sales of ¥92 billion, flat operating profit, an ordinary loss of ¥0.9 billion, and a loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥8.4 billion, all of which represent an improvement from the deeper losses recorded in the prior fiscal year.

The restoration of guidance signals that management believes it can reasonably quantify the financial impact of the accident, reducing uncertainty for investors and lenders. While the company still expects to remain in the red, the narrower projected loss compared with the previous year suggests a gradual recovery trajectory, with operational normalization at Kitakyushu and cost controls likely to be closely watched by stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3315) stock is a Sell with a Yen114.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nippon Coke & Engineering Company, Limited stock, see the JP:3315 Stock Forecast page.
