Shares jumped to 7,256 yen in Tokyo, the biggest single-day gain since 2008, after Fanuc reported a 13% rise in net profit and 7.6% higher net sales for the year ended March.
Robust demand from machine tool manufacturers in Japan, China, and India, and increased industrial robot sales in the Americas and China, drove results. Fanuc forecasts 11% net income and nearly 16% operating income growth this fiscal year.
The company announced a share buyback of up to 50 billion yen ($313.7 million) through April 2027. Analysts note the results and guidance may renew investor focus on factory automation amid global auto sector capital spending.
