For the first half year, sales and operating income forecasts are favorably corrected by ¥10 billion and ¥4 billion, respectively, but the second half forecast is not changed due to uncertainty in the economic outlook. Yearly sales and operating income are expected to reduce by 9% and 26%, respectively, from the last year.

It seems that the market took all this as a positive news, since Nikon’s stock went up:
