TOKYO -- Factory robot maker Fanuc has forecast a drop in annual profit despite revenue growth as U.S. tariffs threaten to raise its prices in a vital market.
Consolidated orders for the April-June quarter totaled 205.9 billion yen ($1.39 billion), up 4% on the year, the Japanese company said Friday.
