According to Nikkei Asia, following a series of upward earnings revisions, Japan's major corporations are projected to see a 20% growth in profits for the current fiscal year, with total net profit expected to hit a record high for the sixth consecutive year. The report points out that improvements in capital efficiency have also benefited sectors like pharmaceuticals, which do not rely on the AI boom. It should be noted that these figures represent corporate earnings forecasts rather than actual full-year financial results.
