Shima Seiki (6222) fell sharply. A downward revision of the first half year earnings forecast was announced last weekend. Operating profit and loss were reduced from the previously forecast surplus of 0.5 billion yen to a deficit of 2.1 billion yen, and there was a surplus of 0.37 billion yen in the same period last year. The background is that capital investment continues to decline in the main Chinese and Italian markets, and that large orders in Bangladesh are expected to be postponed due to the effects of anti-government demonstrations. The full-year forecast remains unchanged at this stage. Furthermore, the annual dividend was also reduced from the previous plan of 20 yen to 15 yen.
