Read MoreHide Full Article

We issued an updated research report on premium multinational firm, FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (FUJIY - Free Report) , on Jul 4, 2016.

Scopes for Improvement

Rise in demand in major business markets like the U.S., U.K., Japan as well as growth opportunities in emerging economies should enhance Fujifilm’s near-term results. Also, Fujifilm’s graphic systems, medical systems and electronic materials business products are gaining popularity. Higher sales in these business divisions should boost revenues in the quarters ahead. The company remains on track with its global expansion plans. Moreover, the company’s new VISION 2016 plan is further expected to boost revenues and margins in fiscal 2017. Fujifilm expects favorable demand conditions to boost revenue growth by 2.3% year over year in fiscal 2017.

Risks

Business internationalization exposes Fujifilm to significant market risks. Any unfavorable change in the global political, environmental, social or economic scenario may adversely affect the company's performance. Additionally, the company operates in a highly competitive industry and runs the risk of market share loss if any of its peers outperform. Thus is likely to put Fujifilm’s margins and revenues under pressure.
