Aiphone Slashes Full-Year Profit Forecast on Overseas Weakness and Yen Depreciation

Aiphone Co., Ltd. ( (JP:6718) ) has shared an announcement.

Aiphone has revised downward its full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, cutting projected net sales from ¥65.4 billion to ¥62.5 billion and slashing expected profit attributable to owners of parent from ¥3.7 billion to ¥2.5 billion. While domestic sales are expected to rise on the back of proactive sales efforts and price revisions, overseas sales are forecast to decline sharply in local currency terms due to distributor inventory adjustments and weaker demand amid an uncertain U.S. economic environment affected by tariffs. The company also expects profits to be hit by a lower share of higher-margin overseas sales and increased foreign currency-denominated costs driven by further yen depreciation, leading to substantial reductions in operating and ordinary profit forecasts compared with previous guidance. Despite the weaker outlook, Aiphone is keeping its year-end dividend forecast unchanged, signaling an intent to maintain shareholder returns even as exchange rate assumptions are revised to reflect a weaker yen.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6718) stock is a Buy with a Yen3442.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Aiphone Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:6718 Stock Forecast page.
