Sumitomo Metal Mining Profit Soars as Dividend and Shareholder Returns Climb

Sumitomo Metal Mining Co ( (JP:5713) ) has provided an update.

Sumitomo Metal Mining reported strong results for the year ended March 31, 2026, with net sales rising 9.3% to ¥1.74 trillion and profit attributable to owners of the parent surging nearly tenfold to ¥176.3 billion, lifting basic earnings per share to ¥649.55. The company’s equity base also strengthened, with total equity attributable to owners of the parent climbing to ¥2.07 trillion and the equity ratio remaining above 58%, while cash flows reflected continued heavy investment alongside positive operating cash generation.

For the year to March 31, 2027, the company projects moderate top-line growth but lower profits, factoring in a planned share repurchase and cancellation that will reduce the share count and is already reflected in the forecast basic earnings per share of ¥518.08.
