NIPPON STEEL ( (JP:5401) ) just unveiled an update.
Nippon Steel reported consolidated revenue of ¥7.26 trillion for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, up 10.7% year on year, but saw business profit fall 37.1% and operating profit plunge 81.1%. The period swung to a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥45.0 billion as profit before income taxes dropped sharply, and the equity ratio deteriorated to 36.8% amid a significant expansion of total assets.
The company confirmed that its audit firm has completed the interim review of these quarterly consolidated results with no changes from the figures disclosed on February 5, 2026, providing investors with assurance on the accuracy of the reported downturn. Nippon Steel maintained its previously announced dividend stance, though the effective payout per share is being adjusted to reflect a five-for-one stock split implemented on October 1, 2025, which may affect shareholder yield perceptions.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5401) stock is a Hold with a Yen703.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NIPPON STEEL stock, see the JP:5401 Stock Forecast page.
