Chubu Electric forecasts ¥215 billion FY2026 loss after Hamaoka impairment

Reuters directly reports that on October 29, 2026, Chubu Electric revised its FY2026 outlook from a ¥160 billion net profit to a ¥215 billion net loss after recognizing an approximately ¥380 billion Hamaoka-related extraordinary charge, including nuclear-plant impairment and nuclear-fuel valuation losses. This is new, material, and forward-looking because it changes expected earnings and asset values and indicates continuing uncertainty over Hamaoka. The September withdrawal of the reactor-restart application is treated as background rather than a separate new development. The development remains classified as business_performance, and only Chubu Electric is approved as a stakeholder because the effects on other utilities, LNG producers, and nuclear suppliers are indirect or speculative. The date is explicit, but the exact announcement time is not; the timestamp is therefore estimated using the contemporaneous report time.
