Tokyo price sets the frame

The combination of a lower target and a price well below the yearly high leaves the next earnings release as the clearest scheduled checkpoint. Nikon's latest quarter showed revenue growth, but the operating result remained negative and the target revision points to more cautious expectations for profitability.
