what happened
Japanese chemicals maker Resonac Holdings (4004) lifted its core operating profit outlook for fiscal 2026 to ¥250 billion. The figure includes substantial losses linked to strategic options for its graphite-electrode operations. According to TradingView, the company also said it will shift this unit's operations in Japan, the Americas and Europe to a new arrangement, though no further details have been disclosed.
Resonac also spun off Crasus Chemical, which is being accounted for as a discontinued operation. Separately, a consolidated subsidiary has decided to exit the production of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
why it matters
For the market, the higher forecast comes alongside large losses and several business exits, so the net effect on earnings will depend on terms that have not yet been made public.
