TOKYO, Jun 18 (Pulse News Wire) – Nomura Corporation (7131.T) reported robust performance for its fiscal second quarter ending September 2026, with revenue reaching approximately 52% and operating profit progressing to around 70%. The company attributes this growth primarily to increased deliveries of packaging machinery orders accumulated at the end of the previous fiscal period.
Despite strong progress, management remains cautious about upwardly revising full-year forecasts due to uncertainties surrounding commodity prices and geopolitical tensions affecting raw material supply chains. In the packaging materials sector, sales remained stable compared to the same period last year despite a slight decline in overall demand.
Nomura Sangyo maintained its sales levels through aggressive promotional activities and managed to mitigate disruptions caused by Middle Eastern geopolitical issues impacting certain pre-manufactured products. The company expects continued efforts to stabilize supplies while expanding into new markets to ensure sustainable growth.
Regarding future outlook, Nomura Sangyo plans to leverage its integrated solutions approach to address evolving customer needs and explore opportunities beyond traditional sectors, aiming to fortify its long-term growth foundation.
