TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese robotics company Fanuc Corp said on Wednesday it was not able to report its forecasts for the current fiscal year ending in March 2026 due to "numerous uncertain factors" including U.S. tariffs and their global economic impact.

"We plan to carefully assess the impact of tariffs in the United States and other factors, and promptly disclose the forecast once a reasonable calculation becomes feasible," Fanuc said in an annual earnings disclosure.
