Mon Apr 20, 2026 10:00 am JST Catalyst

TOYOTA TSUSHO CORPORATION <8015> is in focus. The Toyota-affiliated trading house reported a 3.3% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to 286.97 billion yen for the first three quarters (April-December 2025). Strong performance in African operations, driven by robust automobile sales, bolstered earnings. While the full-year forecast through March 2026 projects net profit at 360 billion yen, a 0.7% decrease from the previous year, the 80% progress rate has fueled expectations for an upward revision. Net profit is expected to hit a record high exceeding 400 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 2027.

In March, TOYOTA TSUSHO announced its participation in a rare earth development project in Namibia. The stock hit an all-time high of 7,244 yen in February before entering a correction phase, but sentiment remains firm on growth prospects in Africa. Analysts expect the stock to recover its previous highs and target the 8,000 yen level. (Chiwa)
