TOKYO, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Nidec 6594.T refrained on Friday from issuing a new forecast for annual operating profit, as the Japanese electric motor maker reels under pressure from an accounting scandal that has triggered investor concern and regulatory scrutiny.
The Kyoto-based firm withheld guidance for the year to March 2026, after scrapping its previous 260 billion yen ($1.68 billion) forecast in late October, following revelations of suspected irregularities at overseas subsidiaries.
