Panasonic Corporation today lowered fiscal year 2009 earnings to 30 billion yen from 310 billion yen estimated in April.
Net sales are projected to drop to 8.5 trillion yen from an earlier estimated 9.2 trillion yen, while consolidated operating profit is projected to fall to 340 billion yen from 560 billion.
Panasonic says it expects profit to be weak on a strong yen, sluggish consumer spending and price competition, including a write-down of investment securities. |
