Yurtec Corporation ( (JP:1934) ) has provided an announcement.

Yurtec Corporation will book significant extraordinary losses in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, mainly linked to its Vietnamese subsidiary Sigma Engineering JSC, whose profitability deteriorated amid a prolonged slump in private construction and delayed wind power investment. The company will recognize a ¥4.7 billion loss on valuation of Sigma’s shares on a non-consolidated basis, alongside a one-time amortization of goodwill and related asset impairments totaling ¥2.9 billion at the consolidated level.

As a result, Yurtec has revised its full-year forecasts, lowering expected net sales but raising operating and ordinary profit forecasts due to improved construction profitability from tighter cost management. Nonetheless, profit attributable to owners of parent is now projected to decline versus the prior outlook on both a consolidated and non-consolidated basis, signaling earnings pressure for shareholders despite operational efficiency gains and underscoring the risks of its overseas expansion strategy.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:1934) stock is a Buy with a Yen3701.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Yurtec Corporation stock, see the JP:1934 Stock Forecast page.
