Toyota supplier Denso posts drop in first-quarter profit TOKYO, July 31 (Reuters) - Japan's Denso 6902.T, a major auto parts supplier to Toyota 7203.T, posted a 21.5% decline in first-quarter operating profit on Friday, as rising parts and material costs outweighed a boost from a weaker yen.
Operating profit for the three months ended June totalled 84.2 billion yen ($524.45 million), versus a median forecast of 102.4 billion yen in a poll of nine analysts surveyed by LSEG.
A year earlier, the company had posted an operating profit of 107.2 billion yen.
