Fuji Die significantly raised its forecast for current-year ordinary profit and expects double-digit growth to drive record profit for the first time in 9 fiscal years. Ordinary profit increased to ¥1.81 billion for the cumulative second quarter, and the full-year forecast was raised to ¥2.44 billion.
Fuji Die reported consolidated ordinary profit of ¥1.81 billion for the cumulative second quarter (April-September) of the fiscal year ending March 2027, up 5.9-fold year on year. This was well above the previous forecast of ¥960 million. Accordingly, the full-year ordinary profit forecast was raised 2.7-fold from the previous forecast of ¥920 million to ¥2.44 billion, with the growth rate also increasing significantly.
Based on first-half results and the second-half plan, ordinary profit for the second half is expected to reach ¥620 million, up 8.8% year on year. The full-year plan was therefore revised upward, and record profit is expected for the first time in 9 fiscal years.
For the most recent 3 months, ordinary profit for the July-September quarter rose sharply to ¥1.18 billion, 8.3 times the year-earlier level. The operating margin rose significantly from 3.4% to 18.4%.
The earnings materials continued to disclose revisions to the plan for second-half profit through the fiscal year-end. Future disclosure trends will be closely watched.
