what happened
Denso, a large Japanese maker of auto components for Toyota, said operating profit fell 18% year on year in the July–September quarter, according to Reuters. The company earned 86 billion yen ($545 million), down from 104.2 billion yen a year earlier and below the 104.8 billion yen median estimate of nine analysts polled by LSEG. Higher costs for components and raw materials were the main drag.
Denso left its full-year operating profit target unchanged at 500 billion yen.
why it matters
For markets, the result signals that rising input costs continue to squeeze automotive suppliers. The quarter came in below the poll's expectations, while keeping the annual target suggests management is not yet revising its plans. The rate of about 157.9 yen per dollar also affects how the earnings translate into dollars.
