FUJITSU LIMITED <6702> shares fell sharply. After the close of trading on the 28th, the day before a public holiday, the company announced its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, projecting sales of 3,510.0 billion yen (up 0.2% year-on-year) and net profit of 310.0 billion yen (down 31.0% year-on-year). The outlook for a decline in profit, a reversal from the previous fiscal year's record high, triggered selling pressure.

The company expects continued contributions to earnings from its DX support service "Uvance" and modernization services. On an adjusted basis, excluding one-time gains and losses from business restructuring and M&A, the company anticipates an increase in net profit. The dividend forecast was set at 55 yen (compared to 50 yen in the previous fiscal year). Separately announced fiscal year March 2026 results showed sales of 3,502.9 billion yen (down 1.3% year-on-year) and net profit of 449.408 billion yen (up 2.0 times year-on-year).
