Sakai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4078) ) has shared an announcement.
Sakai Chemical Industry will transfer its controlled industrial waste final disposal site in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, following a board resolution on March 23, 2026. The move aligns with the planned termination of its pigment-grade titanium dioxide business by March 2026, which is expected to sharply reduce industrial waste volumes and lessen the strategic need to own such a facility.
The asset, comprising over 437,000 square meters of land and related buildings, will be sold to Daiei Kankyo Co., Ltd., a major waste and recycling company, generating an estimated gain of about ¥1 billion. This gain will be booked as extraordinary income in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, and the transaction supports Sakai Chemical’s broader shift toward a higher-profitability structure and its long-term waste reduction and environmental commitments.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4078) stock is a Buy with a Yen4138.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sakai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4078 Stock Forecast page.
