Keyence stock was trading at EUR 452.55 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 9:37 a.m. CEST, down 0.72 percent from the prior close of EUR 455.85.

First-quarter growth sets the backdrop

JPX Market Explorer reports that Keyence generated JPY 346.62 billion in sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared with JPY 261.08 billion a year earlier. That represents growth of 32.80 percent, while net income increased to JPY 139.13 billion from JPY 92.12 billion, a 51.00 percent gain.

Basic earnings per share reached JPY 573.69 in the same quarter, versus JPY 379.82 a year earlier, according to JPX Market Explorer. The figures give the analyst rating a concrete operating backdrop, although the euro quote and the Tokyo listing use different currencies.

Analyst target meets a wide range

Investing.com lists 15 analyst ratings, including 13 Buy ratings and 2 Hold ratings, with an average 12-month target of JPY 97,866.70. The same page shows a Tokyo Stock Exchange 52-week range of JPY 51,510.00 to JPY 87,920.00 and identifies October 23, 2026 as the next earnings date.

Keyence had a market capitalization of JPY 19.7 trillion on October 1, 2026. Its business spans sensors, machine vision and precision measurement equipment, making the first-quarter sales comparison especially relevant to the company investment case.

Euro quote dips before Tokyo context

At Lang & Schwarz, Keyence stood at EUR 452.55 on October 1, 2026 at 9:37 a.m. CEST, minus 0.72 percent versus the Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 455.85. The Tokyo Stock Exchange quote was separately reported in JPY, so the two prices are not combined into one performance figure.
