Action:Reiterated
Date:05/11/26
The score is primarily weighed down by weak financial performance—especially the 2026 profitability reversal and negative operating/free cash flow—despite a still-moderate balance sheet. Technicals are mildly constructive but not strongly bullish (negative MACD), and valuation is constrained by losses (negative P/E) with only modest dividend support.
Positive Factors
Diversified business model across imaging, precision equipment, healthcare
Nikon's mix of consumer imaging, high-value semiconductor/precision equipment, and healthcare/measurement lines creates multiple revenue channels and service tails. This diversification reduces reliance on any single cycle and supports recurring after-sales service revenues and installed-base economics over years.
Negative Factors
Profitability deterioration and operating losses
The swing to net losses and negative operating profit signals material margin and cost-pressure issues. Persistent or recurring operating losses undermine retained earnings, constrain reinvestment, and weaken the firm's ability to sustain R&D, service networks, and competitive positioning over multiple quarters.

Company Guidance
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, Nikon reported revenue of ¥715.2 billion, with an operating profit of ¥2.4 billion and a profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥6.1 billion. Despite growth in imaging products and healthcare sectors, overall revenue slightly declined due to reduced sales in semiconductor-related businesses and precision equipment. The company faced a ¥27.2 billion one-time cost that significantly impacted profits. For FY 2026, Nikon forecasts revenue of ¥710 billion, operating profit of ¥36 billion, and a profit attributable to owners of ¥30 billion, expecting growth in components and digital manufacturing segments. The company aims to improve profitability by eliminating last year's one-time costs and leveraging gains from the sale of idle assets. They have revised dividend projections to ¥50 per share and plan a 54.8% shareholder return ratio for the current fiscal year. Nikon is also focused on long-term growth investments, particularly in professional video cameras, next-generation lithography, and metal additive processing, targeting a revenue of ¥1 trillion and a 10% operating margin by FY 2030.Nikon Financial Statement Overview
