On the last trading day of the month, the Nikkei was down 1.5% in afternoon trade and the broader Topix was down 1.3%, though both were still on track for monthly gains. The dollar was buying about ��86.40, down about 2.4% against its Japanese counterpart this month.

Toshiba Corp. (TOSYY) slipped 2.4%, and Elpida Memory Inc. (6665.TO) skidded 4.2%. Sharp Corp. (SHCAF) slid 2.1%.

And video-game giant Nintendo Co.’s (NTDOF) shares were down 2.3%, after it reported its first quarterly loss in more than two years on Thursday, another casualty of the strong currency.

But Sony’s (SNE) shares surged 4.2%, after it said Thursday it returned to profit in the April-June quarter on strong sales of televisions and computers. It also raised its full-year net and operating profit outlooks despite also saying it expects the yen to strengthen further against the euro.

Sony’s upward revisions to its full fiscal-year earnings forecasts to allow for adjusted forex assumptions was “a positive surprise,” said Yuji Fujimori and Haruka Mori, analysts at Barclays Capital.

“Sony’s new earnings forecasts do not take into account continued strength for digital cameras and other products that came in above target in 1Q, and we believe they are conservative,” they said in a note to clients Friday, in which they raised their 12-month target price for Sony to ��3,400 from ��2,800. Thursday afternoon, the shares were trading at ��2,719.

In broader regional trading Friday, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 and South Korea’s Kospi were each down 0.7%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index was 0.5% lower, and China’s Shanghai Composite dropped 1.2%.

Exports sputter

While Japanese companies are more resilient to a stronger currency than they were in the past, yen strength certainly hurts their bottom lines. A weaker currency would boost the value of their repatriated overseas profits and make their goods cheaper and more competitive in foreign markets — and a stronger currency has the opposite effect.

And what’s bad for exporters isn’t good for Japan’s significantly export-powered economic recovery.

“The strengthening in the Japanese yen has likely contributed to a sputtering in Japanese exports in recent months, after the strong rebound from the lows reached during the first half of 2009,” said David Cohen, director of Asian economic forecasting at Action Economics.

Cohen said that in July, the dollar traded at an average of ��88.0, overtaking last November’s average of ��89.11 as the greenback’s weakest monthly average since 1995.

Japanese exports have leveled off in recent months, he said, and are still some 20% below the pre-crisis highs in the first half of 2008. This contrasts with the continued uptrend through the second quarter of this year in other leading Asian exporters, such as China, South Korea and Taiwan, which “essentially recovered to pre-crisis highs.”

Cohen said that the failure of Japanese exports to keep pace with their regional rivals is a sign “the sputtering in Japan is at least partly a consequence of reduced competitiveness due to the relative strength of the Japanese yen.”

Government data released Friday underscored that the manufacturing sector is showing signs of a slowdown.

Japan’s industrial production unexpectedly fell in June, dragged down by the auto and electronics sectors. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said output fell 1.5% from May, much worse than the median 0.1% rise forecast by economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires. It was the first drop in four months.

“Rather than consecutive month-on-month declines in the headline number, [the] consecutive rise in inventories, which would indicate the level of downside risk to overall production, is worth noting,” said RBS Securities economist Junko Nishioka.

* Lifts annual outlook and posts surprise Q1 profit

* Demand booming for Bravia flat TVs and PlayStation 3

* Sales growing in developing markets

* Strong yen, tough competition, Europe woes remain risks
(Adds comments, details)

By Isabel Reynolds

TOKYO, July 30 (Reuters) – Sony Corp shares jumped more than
3 percent and briefly hit their their highest intraday level in
nearly two months after the company lifted its annual outlook on
booming demand for its Bravia flat TVs and PlayStation 3 game
consoles.

Thanks to aggressive cost cuts and growing sales in
developing markets, the electronics and entertainment giant also
returned to profit in the first quarter, surprising investors who
had expected a quarterly loss.

“They raised their profit outlook despite the stronger yen,
so of course this exceeded our expectations,” said Takao Hattori,
a senior analyst at T.I.W. in Tokyo.

“But the real battle comes in the third quarter, so we can’t
really pass judgment until we see what happens then,” he added,
referring to the shopping season ahead of the year-end holidays.
“There is certainly some concern as to whether this trend can
continue.”

Sony, the world’s second-largest camera maker after Canon Inc
and the No. 3 maker of flatscreen TVs after Samsung Electronics
and LG Electronics, has suffered a dearth of groundbreaking
products in recent years.

But the company singled out its minimalist “Monolithic
design” televisions and lightweight NEX cameras as hit products
that it hopes can spark electronics-led growth.

For the year to March 2011, Sony lifted its operating profit
outlook by 12.5 percent to 180 billion yen ($2.1 billion),
compared with a consensus estimate of 152.6 billion in a poll of
22 analysts by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

On the downside, Sony must battle persistent strength and
tough competition with South Korean rivals such as Samsung, which
posted record quarterly profits on Friday, but warned that the
outlook was less rosy, with demand for handsets and TVs
uncertain.

Like other exporters, Sony is keeping a wary eye on the debt
crisis in Europe, which accounted for more than 25 percent of the
company’s sales last year, though booming demand in developing
countries may help offset such risks.

The company reported April-June operating profit of 67
billion yen versus the consensus for a 13 billion yen loss in a
poll of four analysts and a loss of 25.7 billion yen a year ago.

Sony shares were up 3.3 percent, against a 1.5 percent fall
in the electrical machinery index.
