Panasonic targets 'high-growth' return on investment

Electronics giant's auto-related business spearheads expansion

Panasonic President Kazuhiro Tsuga announces business results for fiscal 2016 at a press conference in Tokyo on May 11.

TOKYO -- After a year of biding its time, Panasonic looks ready to turn bullish again.
