Operating income forecast has been drastically revised downward from a positive 14,000 million yen to a loss of 100,000 million yen. Profit before tax and net income attributable to owners of the parent are also expected to turn significantly negative. The main reasons include downward revision of sales outlooks in the Imaging Business, Healthcare Business, and Digital Manufacturing Business, anticipated impairment losses on non-financial assets, and expected inventory valuation losses. Foreign exchange rates for the fourth quarter have also been revised towards a weaker yen against both the US dollar and euro relative to previous assumptions.\n\n### Revision of Dividend Forecast and Reduction of Executive Compensation\nIn response to the decrease in net income attributable to owners of the parent, the year-end dividend forecast has been reduced from 25 yen to 15 yen, resulting in an annual dividend of 40 yen. Additionally, to clarify managerial responsibility, it has been decided that bonuses and performance-linked stock compensation for the Chairman & CEO and President & COO for the fiscal year ending March 2026 will not be paid. These measures are being implemented as management tightening initiatives in light of the deteriorating business performance.","jir_financial_highlights":"Revenue: 675,000 million yen (\u25b30.7% from previous forecast)\nOperating Income: \u25b3100,000 million yen (\u25b3114,000 million yen from previous forecast)\nProfit before Tax: \u25b398,000 million yen (\u25b3114,000 million yen from previous forecast)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: \u25b385,000 million yen (\u25b3105,000 million yen from previous forecast)\nBasic Earnings per Share: \u25b3258.29 yen (Significant decrease from previous forecast)\nDividend per Share (Year-end): 15.00 yen (Reduced from previous forecast of 25.00 yen)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Nikon, #EarningsForecastRevision, #DividendForecastRevision, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Revenue: 675,000 million yen (previous forecast 680,000 million yen, \u25b30.7%)\nOperating Income: \u25b3100,000 million yen (significantly revised downward from previous forecast of 14,000 million yen)\nYear-end Dividend Forecast: 15.00 yen (reduced from previous forecast of 25.00 yen)","jir_meta_title":"Nikon Significantly Revises Down Fiscal Year 2026 Earnings Forecast to Revenue of 675 Billion Yen and Operating Loss","jir_meta_description":"Nikon revises down consolidated earnings forecast for fiscal year 2026 to revenue of 675,000 million yen and operating loss of 100,000 million yen.
