Sekisui Kasei Co., Ltd. ( (JP:4228) ) has issued an announcement.
For the nine months ended 31 December 2025, Sekisui Kasei reported a 13% year‑on‑year decline in consolidated net sales to ¥90.4 billion, but operating income surged nearly fivefold to ¥1.7 billion and ordinary income more than quadrupled, driven by improved profitability in its core segments; nevertheless, one‑off factors pushed the company into a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥2.4 billion, and equity and total assets both edged down. Segment data show resilience in the Human Life business, where demand remained solid for resource‑saving packaging, natto containers and agricultural ESLEN Beads, as well as growth in civil engineering materials and sewerage‑related FJ‑Ring products, while the Industry segment saw sharply lower sales amid weakness in electronics‑related and component packaging materials but a strong profit recovery supported by robust automotive components, FRP parts and medical ST‑gel exports; the company is maintaining its full‑year forecast of sharply lower sales but significantly higher operating profit and plans to resume a year‑end dividend, signaling a focus on restoring earnings quality and shareholder returns despite top‑line headwinds and soft demand in key Asian electronics markets.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4228) stock is a Hold with a Yen428.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sekisui Kasei Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:4228 Stock Forecast page.
