SMC Corporation Publishes Transcript of Financial Results Briefing for Q2 Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

SMC Corporation has published the transcript of its Financial Results Briefing for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026, held on November 13, 2025. The event, which was webcast online, featured presentations from the company’s President and the Director and Executive Officer, General Manager of Finance and Accounting Division. Analysts from leading financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Nomura Securities, BofA Securities, SMBC Nikko Securities, Citigroup Global Markets, Daiwa Securities, and Nikkei Inc. participated in the session. During the briefing, management reported that net sales for the first half of FY2025 increased by 1.3% year-on-year to JPY400.2 billion, driven by sales growth in Greater China. However, operating profit declined by 8.8% year-on-year to JPY90.7 billion, attributed to foreign exchange impacts and rising fixed costs, including depreciation. “Demand for semiconductor and electrical machinery remained sluggish in Japan, the United States, and South Korea, while electrical machinery in Greater China showed signs of recovery,” said the President. The automotive sector was affected by US tariffs, leading to postponed capital investments, and machine tool-related demand continued to adjust outside of Greater China.
