Company outlook lowered
Share price after the results: +5.5%The fiscal 2027 guidance is lower because the Middle East tailwind seen in the last quarter of fiscal 2026 will not repeat, and margin recovery is expected to be gradual.
“So with regard to the guidance in fiscal year '27, our assumptions are that we have seen a tailwind from the Middle East increase in the last quarter of the fiscal year '26, which will not repeat.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
