Nidec (NJDCY) shares gained another 7.69% today, after the maker of electric motors for hard drives, robots, and electric vehicles, raised its annual outlook for the fiscal year that ends on March 31. The new outlook forecasts operating income of 155 billion yen ($1.5 billion) versus the older forecast of 140 billion yen.
The company authorized share buybacks of up to 50 billion yen, or about 0.7% of the company’s stock.
The increased forecast comes after the company reported that its automotive unit, which includes the electric vehicle motor and drive train business, saw sales reach a record for the April to December period.
