Fujifilm Holdings Corp. (OTC:FUJIY) reinforced its innovation-based growth trajectory with the launch of the latest variety of its XP series camera.
Over the last year, Fujifilm’s shares have rallied 12.9%, as against 24.9% loss incurred by the industry. This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company is poised to grow on the back of meaningful acquisitions, improving Information and Imaging Solutions businesses and ongoing VISION2019 program (rolled out for fiscal 2018-2020). However, dismal Document Solutions business, stiff industry rivalry and unfavorable foreign currency-translation impact might impede near-term growth.
