Yaskawa Electric announced on the 9th that it has raised its consolidated net profit forecast under international accounting standards for the full fiscal year ending February 2027 to 47.5 billion yen, up 34.8 percent from the previous year, from its earlier projection of 47 billion yen. The revised forecast exceeds the average of 44.8 billion yen from net profit estimates by 18 analysts compiled by IBES. The company said it expects higher sales revenue as exchange rates continue to run at a weak yen level.

Hikrobot's ChiNext IPO suspended for the seventh time, prospectus still stuck in 2023

The ChiNext IPO review of Hangzhou Hikrobot Co., Ltd. has been suspended again because its financial documents have passed their validity period. This is the seventh suspension for the same reason since its application was accepted on March 7, 2023. More than five years have passed since parent company Hikvision announced on December 30, 2021 that it would begin preparations for a spin-off listing, and Hikrobot's review period has now exceeded three and a half years. So far, the company has only completed responses to two rounds of review inquiry letters and the review center's opinion implementation letter, and it has not yet entered the listing committee deliberation meeting. After disclosing its response to the review center's opinion implementation letter on January 2, 2025, the company has had no substantive new progress for more than a year and a half, and its prospectus update remains stuck at the filing draft released on September 28, 2023, with financial data updated only through the end of the first half of 2023. In the review center's opinion implementation letter, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange focused on related-party transactions and independence. From 2020 through the first half of 2024, the number of overlapping suppliers between Hikrobot and its parent Hikvision increased from 434 to 517, and the purchase amount from overlapping suppliers as a share of total purchases rose from 20.62% to 46.02%. The number of overlapping customers increased from 470 to 606, and sales to overlapping customers as a share of operating revenue rose from 13.65% to 15.78%. As the second subsidiary under Hikvision to pursue a listing through a spin-off within the A-share market, Hikrobot's main businesses of machine vision and industrial mobile robots overlap significantly with its parent's industrial segment in downstream customers and supply chain systems, and its business independence still requires further observation.
