Ushio to Spin Off and Sell Semiconductor Laser Business to Kyocera

An announcement from Ushio ( (JP:6925) ) is now available.

Ushio Inc. will carve out its semiconductor laser device business into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary and then transfer all shares in that entity to Kyocera Corporation under a share transfer agreement approved by its board. The move, executed via a simplified absorption‑type corporate split with no change in Ushio’s capital, shifts all assets, liabilities, rights and obligations of the targeted laser business to the new company, with completion planned around April 2027.

Management frames the divestiture as a portfolio optimization step under its “Revive Vision 2030” growth strategy, responding to weak general‑purpose semiconductor demand and rising use of high‑power lasers in medical and sensing applications. By selling the business to Kyocera, which is developing RGB laser diodes for AR and metaverse uses, Ushio aims to improve capital efficiency while positioning the laser operations within a group more directly focused on their growth markets, with no anticipated issues in the new unit’s ability to meet assumed obligations.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6925) stock is a Hold with a Yen3000.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ushio stock, see the JP:6925 Stock Forecast page.
