Nikon Corporation announced a revision to its consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The company now expects annual revenue of ¥680 billion, operating profit of ¥14 billion, profit before tax of ¥16 billion, and net profit of ¥20 billion, compared to the previous forecast of ¥700 billion, ¥21 billion, ¥25 billion, and ¥27 billion respectively. Basic earnings per share have been adjusted from ¥82.08 to ¥60.78.
For the first half of fiscal 2026, Nikon maintains its revenue forecast at ¥313 billion with a smaller operating loss of ¥5 billion, improved from the earlier estimate of ¥8 billion. This upward revision reflects gains from the transfer of its semiconductor wafer bonding technology R&D business, alongside cost reductions in the Healthcare and Components businesses, which offset delays in the Digital Manufacturing Business.
The downward revision for the full year is mainly due to expected lower sales in the Precision Equipment and Digital Manufacturing segments.
