Updated Mar 23, 2026 by Mitsui & Co.
Mitsui raised its full-year profit forecast to 1.08 trillion yen and its Core Operating Cash Flow (COCF) forecast to 1.2 trillion yen for the fiscal year ending March 2023.
The company increased its annual dividend to 135 yen per share and authorized an additional 100 billion yen in share repurchases due to record-level financial performance.
Favorable commodity prices and foreign exchange tailwinds contributed approximately 207 billion yen to profit growth during the first nine months of the fiscal year.
Strong gains in the Energy segment, driven by higher oil and gas prices and increased LNG trading volumes, successfully offset declining iron ore prices and reduced production in the Mineral and Metal Resources segment.
Mitsui maintains a solid financial position with a net debt-to-equity ratio of 0.57, supporting its ability to navigate market volatility and rising interest rates.
Strategic capital allocation includes the acquisition of AIM SERVICES to expand into wellness and food services, alongside ongoing investments in healthcare and energy transition value chains.
