NIPPON STEEL ( (JP:5401) ) has shared an announcement.
Nippon Steel reported consolidated revenue of ¥10,063.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, with business profit of ¥514.1 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥17.1 billion, as large reorganization losses weighed on the bottom line. Underlying business profit, which strips out inventory valuation and other one-off items such as losses on the transfer of equity interests in AM/NS Calvert and Usiminas, remained solid, supported by cost reductions and contributions from non-steel segments despite weaker spreads and overseas steel performance.
The board will propose a year-end dividend of ¥12 per share, equivalent to an annual ¥24 per share after the October 2025 five-for-one stock split, aligning with a cumulative payout target of about 30% over FY2021–FY2025 while excluding temporary merger-related losses in the U.S. business. Looking ahead to FY2026, before factoring in geopolitical disruptions, the company is targeting underlying business profit of at least ¥700 billion, signaling a focus on earnings recovery and improved profitability following a year dominated by restructuring charges and portfolio realignment.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5401) stock is a Sell with a Yen470.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NIPPON STEEL stock, see the JP:5401 Stock Forecast page.
