TOKYO -- Net profit topped the market forecast for 70% of surveyed Japanese companies in the April-June quarter, led by the automobile and artificial intelligence fields, as many of them rode the tailwind of the weak yen.
Nikkei tabulated the results of about 130 listed companies that posted a net profit in April-June and whose earnings were forecast by at least three securities firms. The list excludes financial institutions as well as companies that did not have an in-house forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2025. The QUICK Consensus average analyst forecasts were compared with the companies' results.
