Japan Lifeline <7575> shares slumped to a fresh yearly low on Friday after the medical device maker forecast a 15.1% drop in operating profit for the current fiscal year. The company expects an operating profit of 10.7 billion yen for the fiscal year ending March 2027, despite a projected 6.8% increase in sales to 63.2 billion yen. While revenue is expected to grow on rising atrial fibrillation cases, the outlook is weighed down by reimbursement price cuts, higher manufacturing costs, and increased spending on R&D and personnel. The company plans to raise its year-end dividend to 56 yen. For the fiscal year ended March 2026, Japan Lifeline reported an operating profit of 12.606 billion yen on sales of 59.187 billion yen.
