Unicharm Slashes 2025 Earnings Forecast on Asia Setbacks and One-Off Charges

An update from Unicharm ( (JP:8113) ) is now available.

Unicharm has revised downward its consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, cutting expected net sales, core operating income, profit before tax, and profit attributable to owners of the parent compared with its August 2025 projections and with FY2024 results. While performance in regions such as North America and the Middle East exceeded expectations, it was insufficient to offset weakness in China and Indonesia, where the Chinese feminine care business was hit by renewed reputational damage in October 2025 and Indonesian operations faced shipment adjustments amid distributor changes in a tough market environment. Profitability will be further pressured by approximately ¥6.0 billion in impairment losses on Asian assets and about ¥6.9 billion in one-time charges tied to the revaluation of GST-related assets in India following legal changes, leading to a sharp downgrade in profit before tax and earnings per share and signaling ongoing operational and regulatory challenges in key Asian markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8113) stock is a Buy with a Yen1006.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Unicharm stock, see the JP:8113 Stock Forecast page.
