NEC shares surged on July 30, reaching 5,002 yen. For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, net profit improved dramatically to 49.7 billion yen, up 157.4 percent year-on-year, while revenue rose 14.5 percent to 819.8 billion yen and operating profit climbed 66.1 percent to 58.8 billion yen. The operating profit margin has risen from around 4 percent five quarters ago to 10 percent in the previous quarter, and return on equity reached 13.0 percent, exceeding the electrical equipment sector median of 7.4 percent. The disposal of low-margin businesses and a shift toward IT services and social infrastructure are contributing to improved profitability, and the market may be starting to appreciate this transformation.
