TOKYO, May 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Fukoku CO.,LTD. (5185.T) revised its fiscal year 2026 consolidated operating forecast due to a special loss related to its vibration control business segment.
The company reported a reduction in earnings expectations following adjustments made on February 13, 2026. In the first quarter, the firm identified delays in the shift towards electric vehicles (BEVs) and increased competition leading to lower selling prices and higher raw material costs. As a result, the company reassessed future cash flows and recorded a impairment loss of ¥918 million as a special loss, reducing fixed asset book values to recoverable amounts.
The revised forecast shows a significant decrease in expected net profit attributable to parent shareholders from the previous estimate. Specifically, the updated figures indicate: - Revenue: 90,000 million yen (down from 88,000) - Operating Profit: 3,800 million yen (up from 3,700) - Net Profit: 3,800 million yen (down from 3,700 million yen) - EPS: ¥80.16 (down from ¥147.65) Despite the downward revision, the company maintains its dividend outlook, with the final dividend remaining at ¥42 per share and the annual dividend unchanged at ¥85 per share. The impact on cash flow for the fiscal year ending March 2026 remains neutral.
