Bridgestone Corp
Bridgestone is one of the world’s largest tire makers. It designs, manufactures, and sells tires for passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, aircraft, and heavy industrial vehicles. The company also makes rubber and related products used in transport and industry. Its main customers are car makers, fleet operators, tire dealers, repair shops, and everyday drivers. Bridgestone sells through original equipment channels, where tires are fitted on new vehicles, and through the replacement market, where customers buy tires and related services after a vehicle is already on the road. It also earns money from tire maintenance, retreading, and other after-sales services in some markets. Bridgestone’s business matters because tires are a basic, recurring need for vehicles and equipment. That gives the company a steady role in the automotive value chain: it sits between raw materials and the end user, turning rubber and engineering know-how into safety-critical products that wear out and must be replaced.

Profit Guidance Cut: Bridgestone lowered its full-year adjusted operating profit guidance by JPY 15 billion, now expecting JPY 490 billion, due to North American economic slowdown, lower truck and bus OE demand, and a cyber incident.
Revenue Steady: Full-year revenue guidance was raised slightly to JPY 4.36 trillion, up 1% from the February forecast.
Margins Hold: Adjusted operating margin improved to 11.4% in Q3, and is forecasted to be over 11% for the year.
Net Income & Dividend Unchanged: Guidance for net income (JPY 253 billion) and dividend per share (JPY 230) remains unchanged.
Cost Cuts & Premium Focus: Cost reduction efforts generated JPY 52 billion in savings, and focus on premium tires supported profitability.
North America Mixed: Aftermarket and Firestone brands performed well, but OE truck and bus tire sales dropped sharply due to macro headwinds.
Stock Split Announced: A 2-for-1 stock split is planned, effective January 2026, to broaden investor access.
