Nikon lowered its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027. While revenue will be reduced from ¥732 billion to ¥722 billion following a review of the digital camera sales plan for the second half of the Imaging Products Business, profit in the Precision Equipment, Healthcare and Components businesses is expected to improve, putting company-wide profit above the previous forecast.
Nikon announced that it had lowered its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027. The move was attributed mainly to a review of the digital camera sales plan for the second half of the fiscal year in the Imaging Products Business, and the revenue forecast was cut from ¥732 billion to ¥722 billion.
At the same time, the company expects operating profit to increase after raising its profit outlook for the Precision Equipment, Healthcare and Components businesses. Profit before tax and profit attributable to owners of the parent are also expected to exceed the previous forecasts as operating profit improves.
News reports have pointed to the possibility that sales delays related to the rumored postponement of the Nikon Z9II launch and feature enhancements to the Z9 may have had an impact, but the company has not officially disclosed specific details of its plans. The review of the digital camera sales plan is central to the revision.
The article also referred to rumors of new products such as the Z70, leaving the implication that developments in Nikon’s new-product information and official materials should be closely monitored.
