Nidec Corp. is scheduled to report fourth-quarter results on Thursday. Here is what you need to know:
NET PROFIT: Nidec is expected to post net profit of 43.9 billion yen, equivalent to $310 million, according to a poll of analysts by Visible Alpha. That would compare with net loss of Y20.49 billion in the year-earlier period.
REVENUE: Fourth-quarter revenue is estimated to have risen 9.0% to Y646.8 billion, according to the Visible Alpha poll.
The stock has fallen 24% so far this year due partly to concerns about U.S. tariffs, following a 0.3% rise in 2024.
WHAT TO WATCH:
--Nidec is expected to offer guidance for the fiscal year that began this month. Investors will be focusing on any sales or profit forecasts and comments on U.S. trade policy from management.
--Third-quarter operating-profit margin deteriorated to 8.4% from 9.4% the previous quarter. Investors will closely watch margin trends, as businesses globally are dealing with relatively high inflation.
--Nidec plans to acquire machine-tool maker Makino Milling Machine for Y257 billion through a tender offer, which Makino opposed. Investors will be paying attention to any updates on that front.
