The company attributed the upward revision to stronger-than-expected international sales, particularly in data center infrastructure and aerospace markets, combined with increased capital spending demand from automotive and semiconductor sectors. While higher overseas procurement costs and wage increases from base-pay adjustments pressured margins, revenue growth more than offset these headwinds, driving improvements across operating profit, ordinary income (keijo rieki), and net profit metrics.
The revision underscores sustained momentum in power electronics evaluation and measurement solutions across next-generation energy, power semiconductors, and data center applications. Margin expansion despite cost inflation suggests operational efficiency gains, positioning the company favorably within its core growth markets as global semiconductor and energy infrastructure investments accelerate.
