Nittetsu Mining Co.,Ltd.'s share price rebounded sharply between 14 and 21 August. In its earnings announcement, revenue was ¥57.4 billion, operating profit was ¥5.1 billion and ordinary profit was ¥4.5 billion, with profits rising sharply, although copper prices, foreign exchange trends and other factors could affect future performance.

According to the earnings report announced on 6 August 2026, revenue rose 24.4% year on year to ¥57.4 billion, while operating profit increased 40.5% to ¥5.1 billion, driven by higher prices for electrolytic copper and electrolytic gold in the Metals segment. Ordinary profit, however, was ¥4.5 billion, down 0.6% year on year.
Key points to monitor in future performance include selling prices in the Metals segment, mining profitability and sales growth in the Environmental segment. At the same time, fluctuations in copper prices and foreign exchange rates, as well as progress on large-scale development investment, could affect profitability, according to the analysis.
Several risk factors were also identified, including fluctuations in demand for and supply of limestone, the impact of higher borrowings and rising interest rates, and the effects of heavy rainfall in Chile on development and operations.
