The latest announcement is out from CK San-Etsu Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5757) ).
CK San-Etsu said its subsidiary Nippon Shindo has revised its full-year earnings outlook for the fiscal year ending March 2026, prompting investors to look to CK San-Etsu’s own updated consolidated forecasts released the same day. The disclosure underscores the parent’s reliance on the performance of Nippon Shindo, whose results are shaped by swings in copper prices and related financial instruments.
Nippon Shindo raised its net sales and operating profit forecasts, citing higher-than-expected copper prices that lifted revenue and core earnings. However, sharp copper price increases since October 2025 triggered derivative valuation losses booked as non-operating expenses, leading the company to cut its projections for ordinary profit and bottom-line profit despite stronger sales.
The new guidance calls for net sales of ¥29.8 billion, up 14.6% from the prior forecast, and operating profit of ¥2.63 billion, more than doubling the earlier estimate. By contrast, ordinary profit is now seen falling about 27% versus the previous outlook to ¥850 million, while profit is expected to drop roughly 24% to ¥620 million, driving forecast earnings per share down to ¥290.13 from ¥383.72.
Compared with the year ended March 2025, Nippon Shindo now expects higher net sales and operating profit but significantly weaker ordinary profit and net profit. The revisions highlight how commodity hedging and derivative positions can offset gains from favorable price movements in the underlying metal, a dynamic that may concern shareholders focused on earnings stability and risk management.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5757) stock is a Buy with a Yen5118.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CK San-Etsu Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:5757 Stock Forecast page.
