Sojitz (ISIN JP3663900003) agreed to transfer 100 percent of its interests in the Gregory Crinum coal mine business on October 14, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The agreement is part of Sojitz's portfolio restructuring and remains subject to regulatory approvals.

Three dated steps show the transition

On May 1, 2026, Sojitz published results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, including profit of JPY 103.6 billion, core operating cash flow of JPY 136.4 billion and return on equity of 10.1 percent, according to Sojitz. On July 31, 2026, the company scheduled its first-quarter results announcement for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. On October 14, 2026, it agreed to transfer the Gregory Crinum business and reaffirmed its plan to exit coking coal interests by 2050.

What does the coal exit mean?

The 2050 target gives the mine transfer a strategic frame rather than a disclosed transaction-price story. Sojitz said the divestment supports its growth foundation and follows what it described as an irreversible shift toward decarbonization. The buyer and financial terms were not disclosed in the linked report.

What dates matter next?

Sojitz's next scheduled reporting date is October 30, 2026, when it will announce financial results for the first half ended September 30, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. Japan time, according to Sojitz. That release should show how the first half compares with the fiscal-year profit baseline of JPY 103.6 billion.
