Japanese semiconductor-related firms reported divergent financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026. Kokusai Electric saw an 18.5% decrease in operating profit to 41.8 billion yen, citing lower factory utilization rates and increased research and development spending. 

Mitsubishi Gas Chemical recorded a net loss of approximately 40 billion yen, largely due to an impairment loss exceeding 80 billion yen following the cancellation of a new plant project in the Netherlands. Despite this, the company’s stock has trended upward due to strength in its ICT sector.
