It has been found that the profit and loss forecasts for this fiscal year announced by listed companies are expected to decrease by just over 5% overall compared to last years actual results.

Amid the uncertainty caused by the Trump administrations tariff measures, more companies are expecting increased costs and a decrease in trade volume.

The financial results for publicly listed companies for the fiscal year ending this March have almost all been announced, and among the companies included in the Tokyo Stock Price Index TOPIX, 1,142 companies, accounting for 99% of the total, had finished their announcements by the 15th of last week.

According to SMBC Nikko Securities, which analyzed the financial results, the total net profit of these 1,142 companies for the previous fiscal year was over 48.54 trillion yen, an increase of 8 from the previous year.

It increased by 2%.

It is expected to reach a new all-time high for the fourth consecutive year.

However, if we total the projected final profits and losses for this fiscal year up to next March, and compare only the companies excluding the 60 that listed their forecasts as undecided, it is 5 less than last years actual results.

It is expected to decrease by 7%.

Additionally, 664 companies, or about 58% of the total, are forecasting increased profits, while 407 companies, or about 35% of the total, are forecasting decreased profits. In particular, industries such as transportation equipment including automobiles, steel, and shipping are expecting larger declines in profits, with many companies anticipating increased costs and decreased trade volume due to tariff measures imposed by the Trump administration.

Of these, major precision equipment manufacturer Ricoh has announced that, due to the impact of tariff measures on printers and other products exported to the United States, its operating profit for this fiscal year is expected to be reduced by approximately 13 billion yen.

Japanese companies performance has remained strong so far, but the outlook has become uncertain due to tariff measures.

The decline in profits is particularly significant in sectors such as transportation equipment, including automobiles, and marine transportation, when comparing this fiscal years performance forecast with last years actual results.

According to a summary by SMBC Nikko Securities, the total projected net profit for this fiscal year for “transportation equipment,” including automobiles, is expected to be 27% higher than last year’s actual results.

It is expected to decrease by about 6%, nearly 2 trillion yen, which is the largest decline in terms of monetary value.

However, this comparison does not include companies such as Nissan Motor, Mazda, and SUBARU, whose forecasts remain undecided, so the outlook for the industry as a whole is uncertain.

On the other hand, the combined net income forecast for shipping, which anticipates a downturn in trade due to the Trump administrations tariff measures, is expected to be 56% lower compared to last years actual results.

In addition to an expected decrease of 4%, “mining” is at 58.

5%, 27 in steel

3%, 25 for petroleum and coal products

2%, respectively, are expected to decrease compared to last years results.
