Terumo Profit Falls in First Half as It Cuts Full-Year Outlook

what happened

Japanese healthcare company Terumo reported on Thursday a drop in profit attributable to owners of the parent for the first half of fiscal 2026. According to TradingView, citing RTTNews, profit fell 29% to 54.62 billion yen from 76.90 billion yen a year earlier. Earnings per share came in at 37.02 yen, down from 52.12 yen. Operating profit declined 29.9% to 70.80 billion yen.

Revenue, however, rose to 624.50 billion yen from 534.93 billion yen. Given the weaker earnings, the company cut its full-year guidance. Expected revenue was lowered to 1.22 trillion yen from 1.24 trillion yen. Operating profit is now projected at 119 billion yen, against a previous forecast of 257.5 billion yen, and net profit at 87.50 billion yen, down from 193.10 billion yen.

why it matters

A downgrade to full-year guidance quickly lowers investor expectations for Terumo's earnings, which typically weighs on the stock. Revenue growth alongside a sharp profit decline suggests costs or margins came under pressure. At the time of the report, the shares were still up about 1.67%, at 2,558 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
