Look up the PowerRating of NIPNY and see how it has performed over the past week as well as the current proprietary PowerRating.

TOKYO, Oct 29, 2009 (Kyodo News International - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- NIPNY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- NEC Corp. cut its full-year profit outlook on Thursday saying its expects a group operating profit of 60 billion yen, compared with its earlier projection of 100 billion yen, due to sluggish demand for its semiconductors.

For its projection for fiscal 2009 through next March, the electronics maker also said its sales will total 3.66 trillion yen, compared with its July forecast of 3.73 trillion yen, due to decreased sales in all of its businesses including electronic devices and network systems.

NEC, meanwhile, maintained its projection of a net profit of 10 billion yen.

NEC Corp. President Kaoru Yano said in a news conference said that while the April to September period showed signs of improvement, he believes the pace of improvement will slow from January to March.

Still, Yano said he is pinning his hope on the planned merger of its chip unit, NEC Electronics Corp., and another struggling chipmaker, Renesas Technology Corp., to help NEC turn around.

The merged entity, expected to be called Renesas Electronics Corp., is set to likely become Japan's largest semiconductor maker.

Thursday's earnings report also showed that NEC incurred a group net loss of 43.59 billion yen for the April to September period, a reversal from a group net profit of 1.76 billion yen a year earlier.

In a consolidated earnings report for the first half of fiscal 2009, the company booked an operating loss of 37.70 billion yen, against an operating profit of 13.39 billion yen a year before, on sales of 1.65 trillion yen, down 22.3 percent.
