Q4 2025 earnings summary10 Nov, 2025

Executive summary

  • FY25 sales rose 4.0% year-over-year to ¥212.0 billion, driven by strong demand in the semiconductor and analytical instrument sectors, while medical-bio instrument sales declined; however, operating profit dropped 49.7% to ¥16.1 billion and net profit fell 43.5% to ¥14.2 billion due to increased expenses from M&A and business expansion.

  • Growth in net sales was offset by significant declines in profitability across all major profit lines.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
