Kyocera revises fiscal 2026 forecasts upward, maintains interim dividend

Kyocera Corporation revised its consolidated financial forecasts for fiscal 2026. Sales revenue is now projected at JPY 1,950,000 million (up from JPY 1,900,000 million), operating profit at JPY 70,000 million (up from JPY 55,000 million), and profit attributable to owners of the parent at JPY 95,000 million (up from JPY 70,500 million). This revision reflects better-than-expected performance in the first half, primarily due to a depreciated yen and reduced impact from U.S. tariff policies, despite ongoing global economic uncertainty.

The company also resolved to distribute an interim dividend of JPY 25 per share for fiscal 2026, consistent with its previous forecast. The total amount of the interim dividend is JPY 34,567 million, with an effective date of December 5, 2025. This dividend matches the interim dividend paid in the previous fiscal year.

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, Kyocera reported sales revenue of JPY 991,385 million, operating profit of JPY 41,945 million, and profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 55,540 million, surpassing previous expectations. The Core Components Business saw increased sales and profit, while the Electronic Components and Solutions Businesses experienced slight revenue decreases but improved profitability.
