NIPPON STEEL ( (JP:5401) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Nippon Steel has disclosed that its subsidiary GEOSTR Corporation has revised upward its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, though the change is deemed immaterial to Nippon Steel’s consolidated results for fiscal 2025. GEOSTR now projects slightly higher net sales but significantly stronger profitability than previously expected, driven by successful efforts to pass higher material and other costs through to selling prices, cost reductions including fixed costs, and the booking of an extraordinary gain on the sale of investment securities, resulting in a substantial upgrade to projected profit attributable to owners of the parent.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:5401) stock is a Hold with a Yen714.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NIPPON STEEL stock, see the JP:5401 Stock Forecast page.
