The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Although demand for ICT-related products such as smartphones remained weak, demand for products for AI data centers was significantly higher than in the same period of the previous year. The ramp-up of new models expanded sales of secondary batteries and sensors, while increased demand for data centers also drove growth in sales of passive components and heads and suspensions for nearline HDDs, resulting in interim results that exceeded the previous forecast.
