The latest announcement is out from TOTO ( (JP:5332) ).

TOTO reported results for the year ended March 31, 2026, highlighting a business portfolio built around its century-old core housing equipment and remodeling operations, complemented by an advanced ceramics segment supplying high-grade components for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The company emphasized the strong profitability of its remodeling-focused sanitary ware and WASHLET business, growth ambitions in the Americas and Asia, and efforts to boost margins in advanced ceramics through technical know-how and efficient production, while addressing a sharp downturn in its Mainland China business through structural reforms that may reshape its regional footprint and earnings balance.

TOTO also underlined that its advanced ceramics business produces high-precision, durable, low-particle ceramic components used in wafer fabrication and semiconductor equipment for logic and memory chips, serving end markets such as data centers, PCs, and smartphones. This diversification into semiconductor-related ceramics, leveraging expertise from sanitary ware manufacturing, positions TOTO to benefit from long-term demand in the electronics supply chain, potentially offsetting volatility in construction-related markets and strengthening its overall resilience and profitability profile.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5332) stock is a Buy with a Yen6400.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on TOTO stock, see the JP:5332 Stock Forecast page.
