Sekisui Chemical stock is tied to a 51 percent Australian housing acquisition worth AUD 335 million, while the shares were last at JPY 2,491.50 on September 29, 2026. The deal gives Sekisui Chemical control of Ausbuild and adds a concrete overseas growth project to its housing strategy.
Australia deal sets a new growth test
According to JapanIR on September 10, 2026, Sekisui Chemical resolved to acquire 51 percent of Ausbuild Group and Ausbuild Partners. The remaining 49 percent stays with the existing shareholders, creating a clear control position rather than a minority investment.
The transaction is scheduled for completion in January 2027, and Ausbuild is expected to become a consolidated subsidiary in the fiscal year ending March 2027. The acquisition price is subject to adjustment, so the AUD 335 million headline value defines the strategic commitment more clearly than the eventual accounting impact.
Quarterly figures keep the deal in perspective
Yahoo Finance reports Q1 FY2027 revenue of JPY 332.97 billion, earnings of JPY 12.79 billion and a 3.84 percent profit margin. The same period produced GAAP earnings per share of JPY 31.69, giving investors a recent operating baseline before the Australian business is consolidated.
The next scheduled results checkpoint is October 30, 2026, when Sekisui Chemical plans to announce financial results for the second quarter of FY2026. The date appears in the company's investor-relations calendar.
