Suzuki Motor FY2026 Profit Beats, FY2027 Guidance Excludes Middle East Risk

Suzuki Motor Corp shares jumped 6.2% after reporting FY2026 operating profit of ¥622.9 billion, slightly beating expectations.
FY2027 operating profit guidance is set at ¥570 billion, excluding potential Middle East risk that could cost up to ¥100 billion.
