SUBARU CORPORATION <7270> shares fell sharply in the afternoon session. Around 2:00 p.m., the company announced that its consolidated earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2026, currently being compiled, are expected to fall short of previous forecasts, with revenue revised down from the previous forecast of 4,800.0 billion yen to 4,780.0 billion yen (up 2.0% year-on-year), operating profit from 130.0 billion yen to 40.0 billion yen (down 90.1%), and net profit from 125.0 billion yen to 90.0 billion yen (down 73.4%).

The decline is attributed to reduced sales volumes due to cold waves in the United States and disruptions in overseas shipping vessel operations amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Additionally, following the relaxation of U.S. automotive environmental regulations, the company reviewed its medium- to long-term demand outlook for electric vehicles in the United States and reassessed the recoverability of development assets related to battery EVs, resulting in the recording of impairment losses.
