Fuji Oil reported a stronger bottom line for the first half of fiscal 2027 on November 10, even as sales declined. According to RTTNews, net income rose to JPY 12.484 billion from JPY 8.299 billion a year earlier, while earnings per share increased to JPY 145.18 from JPY 96.53.

Revenue fell 4.1 percent to JPY 360.462 billion from JPY 375.696 billion. The contrasting development leaves margin performance and the companys ability to protect profitability central to the remainder of the fiscal year.

Guidance stays in focus

Fuji Oil kept full-year guidance at revenue of JPY 754.0 billion and earnings per share of JPY 226.79, according to RTTNews. Investors will now look for evidence that the profit improvement can continue while demand, pricing and raw-material costs shape the second-half outcome.

The latest figures follow a first-quarter report in which revenue was JPY 179.8 billion and net income reached JPY 5.572 billion. That earlier quarter had already pointed to a recovery in earnings quality, although sales growth remained subdued.
