By Public Technologies
  • Sumitomo Metal Mining cut pretax profit guidance 19.8% to JPY 260 billion for the year ending March 31, 2027.
  • Net income is forecast at JPY 161 billion, down 25.5%; sales are projected to rise 3.4% from previous guidance.
  • The downgrade reflects a JPY 41.6 billion impairment loss tied to restoration obligations ahead of CBNC’s planned production shutdown.
  • Higher operating-material costs linked to the Middle East situation remain estimated at JPY 20 billion; a stronger yen is also expected.
  • Smelting and refining now faces a JPY 23 billion loss, versus previously projected profit of JPY 63 billion.
