7751 CANON INC. 【US-GAAP】
Earnings ReportCANON INC. <7751> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results (based on US-GAAP) after the market closed on July 24th (15:30). The consolidated pretax income for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2025 (January to June) was 222 billion yen, a 0.4% increase compared to the same period last year.
However, the full-year forecast for consolidated pretax income has decreased 1.9%, from the previous forecast of 481 billion yen to 472 billion yen (compared to 301 billion yen in the previous period), leading to a reduction in the profit growth rate from 59.7% to 56.7%.
