TOKYO, May 21 (Pulse News Wire) – CK San-etsu CO.,LTD. (5757.T) updated its business strategy aimed at improving capital efficiency and market valuation.
The company reported increased sales and operating profits for the fiscal year ending March 2026 due to higher copper sales volumes and favorable raw material price differences. However, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) declined due to hedging losses related to copper price volatility. For the fiscal year ending March 2026, revenue reached ¥149.438 billion, up from ¥111.433 billion in the previous year. Operating profit surged to ¥14.161 billion compared to ¥10.263 billion last year.
Despite these gains, net income was ¥5.207 billion from ¥5.636 billion previously, leading to a ROE of 6.7%. In response, CK SAN-ETSU outlined several initiatives to enhance profitability and capital efficiency, including early realization of synergies from the integration of Mitani Copper Products Co., Ltd., expanding high-value products through shared production technology, and reducing procurement costs via group purchasing. Additionally, the company plans to continue growth investments through mergers and acquisitions while ensuring stable shareholder returns through progressive dividend policies. Looking ahead, CK SAN-ETSU aims to improve its Price-to-Book Ratio (PBR) to above 1.0 by executing these strategies effectively.
