TOKYO -- Fujitsu's group operating profit for the year ending March 2018 is projected to reach up to 200 billion yen ($1.75 billion), roughly 70% higher than this fiscal year's forecast, Chief Financial Officer Hidehiro Tsukano told The Nikkei.
Investments in artificial intelligence and the "internet of things" -- the emerging field of networked devices -- are seen driving Fujitsu's profit growth. The Japanese company will beef up such high-margin service businesses as systems development.
