Mitsui raises annual forecast after first-half profit increases
Mitsui & Co. reported attributable profit of 574.9 billion yen for April–September on 4 November 2026, up 35.7% year on year. The Japanese group raised its annual profit forecast to 1.05 trillion yen.
First-half revenue reached 8.322 trillion yen, an increase of 23.1%. The new profit forecast for the year ending March 2027 replaces a target of 920 billion yen, according to the financial release and Japanese press coverage.
Metal resources, chemicals, and mobility and infrastructure activities contributed to higher earnings. Some contributions were one-off, so accounting profit alone does not describe recurring cash generation.
The annual dividend forecast remains 140 yen per share. That figure and the profit target are company forecasts, distinct from earnings already recorded.
