The latest update is out from NIPPON STEEL ( (JP:5401) ).
Nippon Steel said its subsidiary Osaka Steel reported significant discrepancies between its non-consolidated financial forecasts and actual results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, but the parent company expects the impact on its consolidated earnings to be immaterial. Osaka Steel’s net sales and operating income fell short of projections due to weaker-than-expected construction demand and margin pressure from rising scrap prices, while ordinary income slightly exceeded forecasts on valuation and foreign exchange gains.
The company’s bottom line deteriorated sharply, swinging to a large net loss after booking substantial extraordinary losses related to the dissolution of consolidated subsidiary PT Krakatau Osaka Steel. These one-off charges included major provisions for doubtful accounts and losses from business withdrawal, underscoring the financial cost of exiting the overseas venture and signaling potential strategic realignment, even as Nippon Steel maintains that group-level results remain largely unaffected.
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.
