TOKYO, Feb 05 (Pulse News Wire) – Osaka Steel CO.,LTD. (5449.T) revised its fiscal year 2026 earnings forecast downward due to sluggish demand from key sectors such as construction.
The company reported lower-than-expected shipment volumes compared to initial plans, leading to reduced sales expectations for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. According to the latest figures released on October 30, 2025, Osaka Steel now anticipates operating profit of ¥98.00 billion, down from the previous estimate of ¥105.0 billion. Net income per share is expected to fall to ¥- from the earlier projection of ¥-. The revision reflects a decline in margins amid rising costs in Scrap Kakaku.
Despite the negative outlook, Osaka Steel maintains its forecast for ordinary loss and lower net profit unchanged from the prior estimates. The company attributes the stable projections for these metrics to potential fluctuations in foreign exchange gains and losses. This revised outlook underscores the challenging business environment faced by Osaka Steel, highlighting uncertainties that could significantly impact future performance.
Investors are advised to consider these factors carefully when evaluating the company's prospects.
