Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. [6981.T]
TOKYO, Feb 02 (Pulse News Wire) – Murata Manufacturing CO.,LTD. (6981.T) revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, citing recent performance trends.
The company previously projected operating profit of ¥1 billion but now expects ¥964 million, marking a decrease of 3.6%. According to the revision, sales revenue is anticipated to exceed previous forecasts due to increased demand for products driven by smartphone production growth and higher component loading in AI servers and peripheral devices. However, the company anticipates lower-than-expected operating profit due to impairment losses related to surface wave technology operations. On the positive side, pre-tax income is expected to surpass earlier estimates owing to foreign exchange gains and interest income.
Additionally, the fourth quarter's exchange rate assumptions have been adjusted from ¥140 per dollar to ¥135 per dollar. In a statement, the company noted that while the forecast is based on currently available information, there remains significant uncertainty, and actual results could differ due to changes in market conditions. --- The revisions reflect adjustments made after considering the third-quarter cumulative consolidated performance. Notably, the company highlighted the impact of ongoing currency fluctuations and operational challenges within certain segments.
Despite these factors, Murata maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.
