| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 1940.0bn | JPY 2080.0bn | +7.2% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 130.0bn | JPY 160.0bn | +23.1% |

| 基本的1株当たり親会社の所有者に帰属する当期利益 | 102.73*1 | 122.04*2 | — |
The electronics manufacturer lifted revenue guidance by JPY 140.0bn to JPY 2080.0bn, while operating profit jumped 23.1% to JPY 160.0bn. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders increased 13.5% to JPY 160.0bn. Earnings per share rose to JPY 122.04 from JPY 102.73. Management attributed the upward revision to first-quarter results exceeding initial projections, accelerating demand in AI and semiconductor-related segments, and favorable currency effects from yen weakness. Despite concerns about raw material cost inflation and geopolitical risks in the second half, the company maintained confidence based on Q1 momentum.
The revision signals strong positioning in high-growth semiconductor and AI markets. The 23% operating profit increase substantially outpaces the 7.2% revenue growth, reflecting operational leverage and improved margins. Investors should monitor second-half execution risks, including commodity price volatility and macroeconomic headwinds, which management flagged as potential headwinds.
