Nippon Steel (ISIN JP3381000003) is scheduled to report second-quarter results on November 5, 2026, while its market capitalization stood at JPY 3.4 trillion on October 6, 2026, according to Nippon Steel. The date gives investors the next formal test of the earnings contribution from U.S. Steel and the company's domestic steel operations.

November results set the next test

The fiscal 2026 second-quarter announcement is set for November 5 at 3:30 p.m. JST. The timing follows Nippon Steel's first-quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2026, which showed revenue of JPY 2.82 trillion, up 40.40 percent year over year, according to note.com.

That comparison includes a rebound from a loss-affected prior-year period, making the next report important for separating recovery effects from underlying operating improvement. The first-quarter business profit was JPY 145.5 billion, an increase of 58.10 percent year over year.

U.S. Steel reshaped the earnings mix

U.S. Steel generated JPY 32.2 billion of business profit in the first quarter, compared with JPY 47.1 billion from the domestic business, according to note.com. The acquired business therefore supplied 68.37 percent of the domestic business profit on that comparison.

Nippon Steel also raised its full-year business-profit forecast from JPY 530.0 billion to JPY 630.0 billion and its net-profit forecast from JPY 220.0 billion to JPY 290.0 billion, the same analysis reported. The November figures will show whether that higher outlook is translating into sustained operating performance.
