Japan's three largest steelmakers cut their annual profit forecast

Image
Japan's three biggest steelmakers cut their annual profit forecasts this month. The reason is that the reduction of overseas automobile demand and the slowdown of the domestic manufacturing industry lead to a decrease in steel price and the decrease in steel profit margin. As a result, the three major steel enterprises cut production. Nippon Steel, Japan's largest steelmaker, cut its profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, to Y100bn ($917m), a 33% drop. The company previously announced a 54% drop in profits between April and September. In the context of the Asian market downturn, the profit margin of steel has shrunk, and the rise in the purchasing cost of Japanese manufacturing customers and the slowdown in exports has also reduced the profit margin, said Miyamoto Shenghong, executive vice president of Nippon Steel On Tuesday, JFE, Japan's second-largest steelmaker, cut its annual profit forecast by 57% to Y60 billion (about $550 million).
