TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese electric motor maker Nidec Corp posted a 91% rise in third-quarter operating profit on Wednesday to 53.6 billion yen ($362 million), compared to 28.0 billion yen in the same period a year earlier.
The earnings for the three months to end-December were largely in line with a 55.6 billion yen profit estimated on average by eight analysts surveyed by LSEG.
