Advantest stock (ISIN JP3122400009) was last at JPY 38,630 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026, up 2.71 percent from the previous close. The next company checkpoint is scheduled for October 28, 2026, when Advantest plans to publish its fiscal Q2 2026 results, according to Advantest.
Record high leaves a narrow gap
The October 2 session reached JPY 39,580, matching the stock's 52-week high, while the reference price stood 2.4 percent below that level. Trading volume was 16,856,700 shares, and the daily move followed a rise of JPY 1,020 from the JPY 37,610 previous close.
Investing.com linked the rally on October 2 to stronger expectations for AI-related semiconductor demand after Micron's results, while also noting Advantest's role in testing high-bandwidth memory chips. The price action therefore reflects both company exposure to advanced chip production and a broader sector signal.
Q1 growth raises the earnings bar
Advantest's fiscal Q1 2026 revenue reached JPY 367.5 billion, up 39.3 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Operating profit increased 53.3 percent to JPY 190.0 billion, while net income rose 93.8 percent to JPY 174.8 billion, according to a September 21 analysis based on the company's July 29 results, published by Note.
The same analysis cited Advantest's raised fiscal 2026 plan for revenue of JPY 1.714 trillion, operating profit of JPY 846 billion and net income of JPY 660 billion. Against the JPY 367.5 billion quarterly revenue base, that forecast makes the October report important for testing whether demand is translating into the planned pace of expansion.
Analysts see further upside
Advantest carries a consensus Buy rating from 21 analysts, with an average 12-month price target of JPY 42,138, according to Investing.com on October 2, 2026. That target lies 9.1 percent above the JPY 38,630 reference price, leaving the October results as the next test of the market's expectations.

Separately, the company announced on September 30 that it would dispose of 111,036 treasury shares at JPY 33,910 per share under its restricted stock unit plan, with payment also scheduled for October 28, according to Advantest.
