FANUC CORPORATION <6954> announced its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 after the close of trading on this day, projecting net sales of 909.6 billion yen (up 6.0% year-on-year), operating profit of 212.2 billion yen (up 15.5%), and net profit of 184.9 billion yen (up 11.0%). The company expects robust demand to continue across various sectors in its FA, Robot, and Robomachine divisions. The assumed exchange rates are 150 yen per U.S. dollar and 170 yen per euro.

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, FANUC reported net sales of 857.83 billion yen (up 7.6% year-on-year), operating profit of 183.76 billion yen (up 15.7%), and net profit of 166.54 billion yen (up 12.9%). In the FA division, CNC systems performed well, driven by strong overseas demand from domestic machine tool manufacturers and robust demand from India and China, where industries were actively investing in capital equipment. In the Robot division, demand from China's EV-related sector and general industries remained strong.

Simultaneously, FANUC announced a share buyback program with an upper limit of 10 million shares (1.07% of issued shares excluding treasury stock) or 50 billion yen. The acquisition period will run from May 1st to April 30th of next year.
