Ushio Raises Full-Year Profit Forecast on Cost Cuts, Chip Market Recovery, and Weak Yen
March 20, 2026, 12:44 AM EDT. Ushio Inc. raised its consolidated full-year forecast for fiscal 2026, projecting net sales of ¥175 billion and operating profit of ¥11.5 billion. The company cited successful structural reforms that cut fixed costs, a recovering semiconductor market boosting demand for light sources, and a weaker yen as key drivers. Ushio's profit attributable to owners now stands at ¥7.5 billion, showing double-digit growth from prior estimates. The impact of its recent acquisition of ams-OSRAM's lamp business remains under review. The forecast upgrade reflects strong earnings improvements and rising market sentiment, with analysts maintaining a Buy rating and a ¥3,570 price target for the Tokyo-listed lighting and optical tech firm.
