Sanyo Homes Corporation [1420.NG]
TOKYO, Apr 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Sanyo Homes Corporation (1420.T) warned today that supply risks stemming from tightened export controls on key minerals in China could impact its operations. Specifically, the company noted that tungsten powder supplies, a crucial raw material for superhard alloys, have faced significant disruptions since early January due to customs clearance issues in China.
The company stated that while it had previously reported its fiscal 2027 earnings forecast, it did not factor in potential impacts from these supply chain challenges. Currently, there is no clear timeline for resuming imports, leading to concerns over production delays and restricted new orders.
Additionally, rising material costs could further strain profitability despite efforts to secure alternative sources. Products affected include drills and other tools made from superhard materials, which account for approximately 30% of the company's consolidated revenue.
Sanyo Homes emphasized ongoing monitoring of the situation and pledged to disclose any quantifiable impacts promptly once available.
