Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2027 · Second quarter (interim period) and full yearPrevious forecast published 15 May 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
In the steel business, market conditions remained on an upward price trend led by manufacturers, but demand was weak and sales volumes fell below expectations. In the construction business, construction progress was delayed and sales declined due to the replanning of construction projects and other factors against a backdrop of higher raw material prices, labor costs and other construction costs. Profit declined as a result of lower sales, and because a substantial improvement in the demand environment for the steel business is difficult to envisage, full-year results are expected to fall below the initial forecasts.
