June 19 – [Today's Investment Strategy]

[Fisco's Featured Stocks] [Stocks in the News] Fujikura <5803> — ¥4,461 (June 18): The company manufactures wires, electronic components, and automotive electrical equipment. It has revised upward its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, now projecting operating profit of ¥310 billion, a 64.2% increase from the prior year—approximately 46% higher than its previous forecast. This revision reflects unexpected project orders for optical components from hyperscalers (large IT companies) and higher selling prices, as well as a lesser-than-anticipated impact from hydrogen shortages.
