TOKYO -- Daio Paper's group operating profit apparently climbed 10% on the year for the April-September half, with strong sales of household products helping avert an anticipated 10% dip.
The Japanese paper maker likely logged around 11 billion yen ($105 million) in profit, compared with the forecast of 9 billion yen. Sales are seen dipping 1% to 228 billion yen, falling 7 billion yen short of the projected figure.
