Mazda Motor Corporation [7261.T]
TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Mazda Motor Corporation (7261.T) revised its fiscal year 2026 forecast higher due to foreign exchange gains. The company reported a significant increase in operating profit and net income compared to previous estimates.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Mazda now forecasts revenue of ¥4.92 trillion million, up from the previously estimated ¥4,8¥20.00 billion. Operating profit is expected to reach ¥51.58 billion, a rise of ¥1.579 billion from the prior estimate. Additionally, ordinary profit is projected at ¥131.8 billion, marking a substantial increase of ¥53.84 billion. Net income attributable to shareholders is anticipated to be ¥35.09 billion, reflecting a growth rate of 75.4%.
The upward revision was primarily driven by favorable foreign exchange rates, particularly against the US dollar, which contributed to additional exchange gains. Despite this positive impact, global sales volumes decreased to 1,223 thousand units, influenced by rising raw material costs and tariffs in the United States. In comparison to the previous fiscal year's performance, Mazda’s individual earnings showed a decline. Revenue was ¥3.14 trillion million from ¥3.55 trillion million, while operating profit dropped to ¥--¥174.8 billion from ¥32.44 billion.
The decrease in sales volume and increased raw material prices led to lower profitability across the board.
