Soken Chemical & Engineering announced an earnings revision on 28 October. It raised its consolidated ordinary profit forecast for the cumulative second quarter (April-September) from the previous forecast of ¥2.95 billion to ¥3.75 billion. Compared with ¥2.87 billion in the same period of the previous fiscal year, the projected profit growth rate has expanded from the previous forecast.
Under the new outlook, revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent are all expected to exceed the previous forecasts, increasing the likelihood that first-half profit will set a new record high for the first time in two fiscal periods.
The full-year ordinary profit forecast remains unchanged at the previous forecast of ¥6.2 billion, and the company’s future policy will be closely watched depending on its interim results.
In explaining the revision, the company cited weaker demand related to liquid-crystal displays, steady sales in the information and electronics fields, and trends in raw material prices, based on its second-quarter results and the outlook for demand.
