Japan's Canon boosts profit outlook
A pick-up in demand for office and medical equipment offset
Tokyo - Al Maghrib Today
Japan's Canon on Tuesday raised its annual financial projections, saying demand for its office and medical equipment offset sagging demand for digital cameras as consumers increasingly turn to picture-taking smartphones.
The camera and copier marker revised up its net profit outlook to 245 billion yen ($2.2 billion) for this year, up from an earlier estimate of 220 billion yen.
The Tokyo-based company also raised its 2017 revenue projection to 4.08 trillion yen from 4.05 trillion, partly owing to a contribution from medical equipment business it bought from loss-hit Toshiba.
The upbeat projections came as Canon credited strong sales of office equipment, including laser printers, for nine-month net profit surging 77 percent to 187.32 billion yen.
Demand for cameras shrank again but medical equipment demand was booming, it said.
"Demand is expected to remain firm in response to replacement demand for medical equipment in developed countries and increasing medical needs associated with population growth in emerging countries," the firm said.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led hisGMT 09:22 2018 Monday ,22 January
