Listed companies’ April-June net profit margin hits record 9.1% as price pass-through takes hold

The story

In their April-June 2026 results, listed companies posted a net profit margin of 9.1%, up 2.7 percentage points from the year-earlier period and a record high. The margin was well above the 7.6% recorded in April-June 2021, showing resilience to rising raw material and energy costs.

Nikkei reports that price pass-through is taking hold even as raw material and energy prices continue to rise.

The analysis covers approximately 1,030 companies listed on the TSE Prime Market that report for fiscal years ending in March and had announced their results by the 14th, excluding subsidiaries of parent-subsidiary listed companies and companies with nonstandard fiscal periods.
