Olympus Corp (7733 JP) announced disappointing Q3FY24 result. Although revenue increased 7% YoY to ¥239B, beating estimate of ¥236B, operating profit declined 30% YoY to ¥34B, below estimate of ¥43B.
The company cut FY24 operating profit guidance for second time and reduced revenue guidance after raising it in November. Noto Peninsula earthquake is the main reason for reducing revenue guidance.
Although both revenue and profits are expected to improve in FY25, it will be difficult to achieve an operating margin of 20% and sales growth of 5%.
