Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2026 · Full yearPrevious forecast published 9 May 2025The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document.
In the semiconductor segment, the core business of the high-purity chemicals business, sales have remained solid, particularly for semiconductors for AI applications, and price increases have been implemented to reflect higher raw material prices. As a result, net sales are expected to exceed the initial plan. Shipments of potassium fluoride in the electronic materials segment have also remained strong due to increased demand from data centers, and each profit figure is therefore expected to exceed the previous forecast.
