Nissan Chemical stock stood at JPY 9,090 on October 10, 2026, 1.70 percent below the JPY 9,244 analyst target cited by Simply Wall St. On October 12, 2026, the company was reported to have established Nissan Chemical Semiconductor Materials Zhangjiagang Co., Ltd. in Jiangsu, China, to manufacture anti-reflective coatings and multilayer semiconductor materials.

China unit adds RMB 210.0 million

The new subsidiary has registered capital of RMB 210.0 million, with an initial RMB 89.0 million contribution planned for October 2026, according to Simply Wall St on October 12, 2026. The move places production closer to Chinese chip customers while increasing Nissan Chemical's exposure to one operating geography.

First-quarter profit rose 21.10 percent

On August 7, 2026, Nissan Chemical reported first-quarter revenue of JPY 78.792 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2027, up 12.80 percent year over year, while operating profit rose 21.10 percent to JPY 21.907 billion, according to Note. Quarterly net profit attributable to owners of the parent reached JPY 16.844 billion, up 21.20 percent year over year, and the operating profit margin was 27.80 percent.

What does China add?

The China investment extends a business already driven by functional materials. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, that segment generated JPY 32.6 billion in sales, up 26.00 percent year over year, and JPY 10.7 billion in operating profit, up 30.00 percent, according to the same August 7 results analysis.

The concentration is measurable: Nissan Chemical's fiscal 2026 operating profit forecast is JPY 66.8 billion, with JPY 38.6 billion assigned to Functional Materials and JPY 27.0 billion to Agricultural Chemicals. Semiconductor materials therefore remain central to the China expansion thesis, while capital spending and local execution become the practical variables.

Results date sets the next checkpoint

Nissan Chemical's investor-relations calendar lists November 9, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. as the release date for second-quarter fiscal 2026 results and the institutional investor briefing, according to the company's investor-relations page. That report should show whether the strong first-quarter contribution from semiconductor materials is continuing as the China investment begins.
