Tokai Carbon Co ( (JP:5301) ) has issued an announcement.

Tokai Carbon has revised its consolidated forecast for the first half of 2026, nudging up net sales and profit attributable to owners despite lowering expected operating and ordinary income, as it adjusts to recent performance trends. While Q2 operating profit is now seen lower than initially planned, the company still expects a slight improvement in net income per share for the period.

For the full year 2026, Tokai Carbon now anticipates higher net sales and profits across all major metrics compared with its previous guidance, driven by a semiconductor market expansion linked to AI demand, stronger Fine Carbon and Industrial Furnaces sales, and increased cathode volumes for aluminum smelting tied to Middle East-related furnace relining. Cost reductions and production efficiency gains underpin the upgraded outlook, signalling improved earnings power and a firmer competitive position for stakeholders monitoring its growth trajectory.
