OZU Adjusts FY2027 Plan Amid AI Boost

TOKYO, Jul 10 (Pulse News Wire) – Ozu Corporation (7487.T) revised its fiscal 2027 mid-term plan following strong performance in fiscal 2026 driven by AI-related demand. At a board meeting held on July 10, 2026, the company adjusted projected figures for the final year of the plan, ending May 2027.

Sales are forecast to remain flat at ¥10.8 billion, while operating profit is expected to decrease slightly compared to fiscal 2026 due to strategic investments in talent acquisition and research. In a statement, President Shizuka Haru noted that the revision reflects ongoing efforts to achieve long-term goals outlined in the “OZU Innovation2034” vision released on July 11, 2024. The company restructured its sales departments in June 2024 to enhance operational efficiency and capitalize on emerging opportunities in AI and data center markets. Despite anticipated declines in domestic sales, Ozu remains optimistic about sustained growth in AI-related sectors.

However, uncertainties surrounding geopolitical conditions in the Middle East have been factored out of the projections. The company plans to focus on stabilizing prices and securing profits through targeted strategies in key markets. This adjustment comes amid continued investment in workforce development and market research aimed at sustaining long-term objectives set forth in the innovation roadmap. Ozu will continue to monitor market dynamics and adapt accordingly to ensure alignment with strategic priorities.
