TSE:9432
NTT's first-half operating profit fell 12.2% to ¥830.1bn on record revenue, but it raised its annual operating profit forecast to ¥1.73tn and lifted capex by ¥43bn to improve mobile network quality.
A draft revision from Japan's communications ministry would analyse how solution services affect network competition, add information checks at NTT East, West and Docomo, and verify NTT East and West's utilisation businesses; comments close on 30 October.
NTT Finance Corporation has registered to sell up to ¥1tn in corporate bonds between September 2026 and September 2028, but it has yet to fix a size, coupon or underwriter for a single tranche.
NTT's operating revenue climbed 10.9% to a record ¥3.62tn in the quarter through June, but profit grew only about half as fast, and the group's untouched full-year forecast points to operating profit growth slowing to just 0.2% for the year to March 2027.
