Executive summary
H1 FY2027 revenue rose 7.0% YoY to ¥3,843.6bn, while operating profit fell 19.5% to ¥170.1bn amid material costs, growth investment and a prior-year one-time factor.

Net income forecast is ¥422bn; forecast operating margin is 6.5%, ROE 7.2%, and annual dividend ¥74 per share, including ¥37 interim.
