What emerges
See the company through the numbers →Nikon supplies optics and precision technologies for researchers’ observations, photographers’ and filmmakers’ work, and manufacturers’ production processes. Microscopes preceded cameras, while acquisitions including Optos and SLM also shaped the portfolio. Imaging accounted for 42.8% of revenue in the year ended March 2026. The new plan proposes investing cash from three businesses into Precision Equipment and Digital Manufacturing. That planned allocation sits alongside a ¥112.4bn group operating loss for the year, including a ¥90.6bn impairment in Digital Manufacturing.
