Japan Display ( (JP:6740) ) just unveiled an update.

Japan Display reported a sharp year-on-year sales decline for the fiscal year ended March 2026, as revenues fell nearly 30% to ¥132.3 billion. The drop was driven mainly by weaker LCD smartphone display sales following strategic downsizing and the shutdown of production at its Tottori and Mobara factories.

Despite the revenue contraction, Japan Display significantly narrowed its losses at the EBITDA, operating, and net income levels, supported by workforce reductions and lower fab-related costs after the plant closures. The company also booked a gain from the sale of subsidiary shares, helping cut net loss to ¥19.8 billion from ¥78.2 billion, signaling progress in its restructuring efforts.
