Tosoh Lowers Full-Year Earnings Forecast on Price Declines and Weak Demand

Tosoh ( (JP:4042) ) has shared an update.

Tosoh has cut its consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, trimming expected net sales to ¥1.01 trillion and reducing projected operating income, ordinary income, and net income, with basic earnings per share now seen at ¥94.93, well below both its previous guidance and last year’s results. The downgrade reflects weaker market conditions for key petrochemical and chlor-alkali products, where falling selling prices and sluggish demand are outweighing the benefit of a weaker yen, as well as a slower-than-expected recovery in semiconductor-related products in the Specialty Group, pointing to softer operating performance and lower returns for shareholders than initially anticipated.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4042) stock is a Buy with a Yen2894.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Tosoh stock, see the JP:4042 Stock Forecast page.
