Sharp to Book ¥14.9 Billion Restructuring Charge but Keeps Profit Outlook Intact

The latest announcement is out from Sharp Corporation ( (JP:6753) ).

Sharp Corporation expects to book ¥14.9 billion in business restructuring expenses over the current and next fiscal years, stemming from changes to its structural reform plans under its medium-term management strategy. The charges are primarily tied to halting production at the Kameyama No. 2 Plant after a planned transfer to Hon Hai Precision Industry collapsed, discontinuing operations at Sakai Display Products Corporation following a failed technology transfer deal with an Indian partner, and shutting down Sharp Yonago Corporation.

Despite these extraordinary losses, Sharp reports that net sales and operating profit are progressing in line with expectations, and non-operating income and expenses are improving versus prior forecasts. As a result, the company still expects to achieve its previously projected profit attributable to owners of the parent, suggesting that the restructuring, while costly, is aimed at streamlining unprofitable operations without derailing overall earnings targets.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6753) stock is a Hold with a Yen713.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sharp Corporation stock, see the JP:6753 Stock Forecast page.
