Asahi Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. (TSE:6140) revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026, reflecting changes in revenue and profitability.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 42,500 | 41,992 | △508 |
| Operating Profit | 2,300 | 2,417 | +117 |
| Ordinary Income | 2,600 | 3,387 | +787 (+30.3%) |
| Net Profit | 2,200 | 1,936 | △264 (△12.0%) |
| EPS | 42.84 | 39.41 | △3.43 (△12.0%) |
The company attributed the upward revision in ordinary income (keijo rieki) to increased investment gains under the equity method and foreign exchange gains. However, the decline in net profit (jun rieki) and earnings per share (EPS) was driven by special losses from asset impairments at both the parent and subsidiary levels.
The revision highlights that while core operations are performing better, asset impairments are negatively impacting the bottom line. Investors should monitor how these impairments affect future profitability and cash flow.
