Q1 revenue rises 39.3 percent
For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, revenue reached JPY 367.5 billion, up 39.3 percent year over year. Operating income rose 53.3 percent to JPY 190.0 billion, while quarterly profit increased 93.8 percent to JPY 174.8 billion.
These figures were reported for the quarter released on July 29, 2026. Note said all three measures reached quarterly records, with demand for testers used with high-performance AI semiconductors supporting the increase.
Guidance points to JPY 1.714 trillion
Advantest raised its fiscal 2026 forecast to JPY 1.714 trillion in revenue, JPY 846.0 billion in operating income and JPY 660.0 billion in net income. Compared with the previous year, the updated targets represent increases of 51.9 percent, 69.5 percent and 75.8 percent, respectively.
The business mix remains central to the outlook. Test System Business sales reached JPY 333.6 billion in the first quarter, up 38.7 percent year over year, while Service and Others sales rose 46.0 percent to JPY 33.9 billion, according to Note.
Next results arrive October 28
Advantest plans to announce its second-quarter fiscal 2026 results on October 28, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. JST. That release will show whether the first-quarter operating margin and the revised full-year targets are holding as customer investment in advanced chips continues.
Analyst expectations remain elevated. Monex reported on September 14, 2026, that a Japanese securities firm kept an Outperform rating and raised its target price from JPY 35,700 to JPY 42,000.
