Unfortunately they have had a tough time. Camera division is doing extremely well. Coming out with new cameras. He is scrutinizing it hard. 4.2% dividend is safe. Strong balance sheet. If camera division takes a turn to the worse he would sell.
A leader. 70% of sales sold outside of Japan, strengthening Yen not good for business. In a very strong position. Strong in SLR cameras which are popular.
Have been able to consistently commercialize their R & D, which is very hard to do.
The weak Yen has also benefited them, because the bulk of their sales is outside of Japan.
