Zeon ( (JP:4205) ) just unveiled an update.

Zeon Corporation has revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, slightly lowering expected net sales to ¥407.5 billion but raising projections for operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of the parent. Despite weaker revenue in its Elastomer Business Segment due to lower selling prices driven by falling raw material costs, the company anticipates stronger performance in its Specialty Material Business Segment on the back of steady demand for optical films for large-screen TVs and battery materials, as well as a profit boost from the continued depreciation of the yen, resulting in a higher earnings-per-share outlook compared with the previous forecast and the prior fiscal year.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4205) stock is a Buy with a Yen2093.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Zeon stock, see the JP:4205 Stock Forecast page.
