Fumihide Goto's questions to NIDEC (NJDCY) leadership • Q4 2025
Question
Fumihide Goto from Mizuho Securities inquired about the company's strategy for managing ROIC by business unit and improving manufacturing capabilities under the new mid-term plan. He also asked CFO Akinobu Samura to detail the primary factors driving the change in operating profit for the fiscal 2025 forecast.
Answer
An unnamed executive, likely President and CEO Mitsuya Kishida, explained that ROIC management will be granular, assessing each business to optimize the portfolio and potentially shrink underperforming units. CFO Akinobu Samura added that the FY2025 profit improvement will be driven by front-loaded fixed cost reductions and a significant shift in product mix towards higher-margin areas like MOEN energy, while shrinking some small motor businesses.
