Furukawa Electric Raises First-Half Net Profit Forecast to 58 Billion Yen, Booking 22 Billion Yen Gain on UACJ Share Sale

Furukawa Electric said on the 24th that it has revised up its consolidated net profit forecast for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, covering April to September, to 58 billion yen, 4.51 times the year-earlier figure, from its previous estimate of 42.5 billion yen. The revision reflects an expected gain of about 22 billion yen on the sale of investment securities, booked as an extraordinary profit, from selling its stake in UACJ as part of efforts to reduce cross-shareholdings. The sale is valued at about 28.6 billion yen and is scheduled for the 25th, aimed at cutting policy shareholdings and securing growth capital. The company had initially planned the sale for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 or later, but moved it forward to the second quarter after comprehensively weighing market conditions and share price trends. Its full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged, with net profit projected at 105 billion yen.

UACJ has revised upward its consolidated net profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 to 42 billion yen, an 8% increase from the previous year. The previous forecast was 28 billion yen. The upgrade reflects steady growth in aluminum demand, expanding orders for thick plates used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rising IT and data center-related demand, and the benefits of enhanced recycled material processing capacity. According to the consensus estimate compiled by IBES from seven analysts, the average consolidated net profit forecast for the same period is 41.1 billion yen. In light of the earnings revision, the company also raised its full-year dividend forecast to 70 yen per share, up from the previous estimate of 58 yen.
