Pacific Metals Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5541) ) has provided an announcement.

Pacific Metals Co., Ltd. has booked ¥5,981 million in non-operating income for the nine months to December 31, 2025, reflecting strong profit contributions from equity-method affiliates in the Philippines amid robust demand. In response to this performance and updated market assumptions, the company has raised its full-year net sales and ordinary profit forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, shifting from a previously projected ordinary loss to an expected ordinary profit, while narrowing the anticipated net loss as earnings are aided by higher ferronickel sales volume and equity-method income but remain pressured by high raw material, fuel and electricity costs and continued global macroeconomic uncertainty, including potential supply chain and demand risks from U.S. tariff policy and geopolitical tensions.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5541) stock is a Hold with a Yen3171.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Pacific Metals Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:5541 Stock Forecast page.
