Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from Shiseido Company,Limited ( (JP:4911) ) is now available.

Shiseido will close the Hsinchu Factory of its 51%-owned subsidiary Taiwan Shiseido Co., Ltd. and shift production to domestic Japanese bases such as the Nasu Factory. The move aligns with its 2030 Medium-Term Strategy to evolve global operations, improve capacity utilization, and enhance cost efficiency, while refocusing Taiwan Shiseido on its local distribution business for greater agility.

Production at the Hsinchu site is scheduled to end in the first quarter of 2027, with full closure in the second half of 2027, affecting skincare output for Taiwan and other Asia Pacific markets. The closure will generate about ¥3.5 billion in non-recurring structural reform and impairment costs, largely already factored into Shiseido’s 2026 and 2027 earnings forecasts, limiting additional financial surprise for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4911) stock is a Sell with a Yen2494.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shiseido Company,Limited stock, see the JP:4911 Stock Forecast page.
