Komatsu raised its fiscal-year outlook on October 29, 2026, after stronger demand lifted first-half sales. The company reported the results in its financial release, carried by Marketscreener.

Sales growth outpaces profit growth

For the six months ended September 30, 2026, net sales increased 14.1 percent year over year to 2,158.6 billion yen. Operating income rose 3.5 percent to 286.6 billion yen, while net income attributable to Komatsu shareholders increased 9.2 percent to 191.9 billion yen.

The figures show stronger top-line momentum than profit growth. Komatsu said construction, mining and utility equipment sales benefited from higher volumes, improved selling prices and the weaker yen, while the operating margin fell 1.3 percentage points to 13.3 percent.

Higher demand supports new guidance

Komatsu raised its forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. Sales are now expected to reach 4,450 billion yen, compared with 4,302 billion yen previously, while operating income is projected at 585 billion yen versus 555 billion yen. Net income attributable to Komatsu shareholders is forecast at 382 billion yen, up from 349 billion yen.

The company attributed the revisions to stronger-than-expected demand across several regions and a greater-than-expected depreciation of the yen. The full-year forecast assumes an average exchange rate of 154.5 yen per US dollar, compared with 152.1 yen in the earlier projection.
