The latest update is out from SUMCO Corporation ( (JP:3436) ).
SUMCO reported first-quarter 2026 consolidated net sales of ¥101.4 billion, down 1.0% year on year, and swung to an operating loss of ¥5.3 billion and a net loss of ¥8.5 billion amid deteriorating profitability. Total assets stood at ¥1.14 trillion with an equity ratio of 49.8%, slightly lower than year-end 2025, highlighting some balance-sheet pressure as earnings weaken.
The company revised its dividend forecast, maintaining a ¥10 interim dividend for the 2026 fiscal year while leaving the year-end payout undecided, signaling caution over earnings visibility. It also cut its earnings outlook for the first half of 2026, now projecting modest sales growth to ¥213.4 billion but a deeper net loss of ¥15.4 billion, underscoring ongoing headwinds in the semiconductor cycle and a challenging near-term outlook for shareholders.
