Nippon Paper Industries Co.,Ltd. [3863.T]
TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Nippon Paper Industries CO.,LTD. (3863.T) reported a revenue increase of 102% to ¥100 million and operating profit of ¥25.2 billion for the quarter ended March 2026.
The growth was driven primarily by higher sales in its living-related products division, despite a decline in paper and board sales. Looking ahead, the company expects ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, particularly in the Middle East, to impact raw material prices and overall profitability.
Despite these challenges, Nippon Paper aims to maintain a robust capital efficiency strategy, targeting a return on invested capital (ROIC) above 1.0 and a return on equity (ROE) exceeding 6%. For fiscal year 2026, Nippon Paper forecasts a slight decrease in operating profit to ¥25 billion due to anticipated price corrections across various product lines and continued volatility in fuel costs.
The company remains committed to executing its three fundamental strategies: optimizing balance sheets, implementing structural reforms, and enhancing profitability.
