Casio Computer Co.,Ltd. Revises Earnings Forecast — Operating Profit Up 64%
Casio Computer Co.,Ltd. (TSE:6952) raised its earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2027, citing strong first-quarter performance and successful execution of its watch business strategy.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 145.0bn | JPY 150.0bn | +3.4% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 12.5bn | JPY 20.5bn | +64.0% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 12.5bn | JPY 20.5bn | +64.0% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する中間純利益 | 8 500 | 1 3500 | — |
| １株当たり中間純利益 | JPY 38M | 6 0.86 | — |
For the full fiscal year, Casio raised revenue guidance by JPY 5.0bn to JPY 300.0bn and operating profit by JPY 8.0bn to JPY 34.0bn, representing a 30.8% increase. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was lifted JPY 5.0bn to JPY 23.5bn. The company attributed the revision to robust first-quarter results and gains from its dual-axis watch strategy centered on G-SHOCK and CASIO WATCH brands, bolstered by ambassador marketing initiatives. Management also incorporated U.S. tariff refunds into current projections. However, the company noted headwinds from Middle East tensions driving energy price increases and rising costs, while domestic and overseas economic conditions remain resilient.
The substantial upward revision in profitability signals improving operational efficiency and brand strength in Casio’s core watch segment. Investors should monitor second-half execution risks, particularly exposure to geopolitical disruptions and commodity cost volatility, which could pressure margins despite the current positive momentum.
