アップル upwardly revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026. Reflecting strong overseas used-car exports, operating profit is expected to exceed the previous forecast. Meanwhile, ips has been trading since August with the 5-day moving average and the Ichimoku cloud in focus, indicating an appetite for buying on dips.
アップル upwardly revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026, raising its operating profit forecast from ¥769 million to ¥932 million. Against a backdrop of a weaker yen trend and recovery in overseas markets, it revised its previously conservative outlook.
The revision reportedly reflected unstable international conditions, rising costs including transportation expenses due to higher fuel prices, and uncertainty surrounding procurement conditions. At the same time, strong performance in its overseas used-car export business was cited as a factor behind the upside surprise to the forecast.
ips has entered a correction phase after peaking at ¥4,320 on 28 August, but the 25-day moving average is being watched as support, and the stock has formed a bullish candle within a range. On the Ichimoku chart, it has remained above the cloud, with the baseline functioning as support. The correction following the formation of a double top with the May high suggests a buy-on-dips stance.
