TOKYO -- Earnings at Japan's listed companies look set to drop 15% on the year for the fiscal second half ending in March, leaving full-year growth flat, as the U.S.-China trade war raises fears of a Chinese economic slowdown.
Aggregate net profit at 1,346 large companies tracked by Nikkei is forecast to fall to about 12.9 trillion yen ($113 billion) in the October-March half, based on guidance issued as of Nov. 9.
