Nikon seen posting smaller-than-expected profit decline for first half:

“Nikon’s operating profit likely fell 27% on the year in the April-September half as digital camera sales missed expectations in the U.S., but higher-end models and a weak yen helped stave off a bigger drop.

The Japanese manufacturer is expected to report a group operating profit of about 9.5 billion yen ($79.3 million), beating its forecast of a 39% decline to 8 billion yen.”
