Fanuc shares drop sharply, their biggest decline in roughly 40 years, after the robotics maker issues an outlook that disappoints some investors and highlights procurement-cost worries. Bloomberg reports the company raises its profit outlook by less than expected, intensifying concerns that higher prices for materials could pressure costs. The Japan Times adds that Fanuc lifts its full-year operating profit forecast by about 3% following a strong rise in demand, including a 37% surge in orders in the June quarter. While the forecast increase and order momentum point to continued business strength, the market reaction centers on the gap between the revised guidance and expectations, along with the implication that input and supply costs may continue rising. The articles present the move in Fanuc’s shares as a rapid repricing of future margins, despite improving order figures, with investors focusing on cost and profitability risks.
