TOKYO -- The lineup of the most profitable Japanese companies in various industries is set to look very different in fiscal 2023 than five years earlier, underscoring how those adapting to inflation and other changes in the business climate are reaping the benefits.
Nikkei compared companies' net profit forecasts for this fiscal year and fiscal 2018 results among its 32 nonfinancial industry classifications. QUICK consensus market forecasts were used for companies that have not released full-year estimates, and irregular fiscal years were excluded. Changes to book-closing dates and delistings were not taken into account.
