Hitachi, Ltd. (JP3788600009) was last at JPY 5,642 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, up 2.17 percent. The move gives the stock a fresh market signal as investors weigh the company's strong first-quarter operating update from July 29, 2026.

First-quarter revenue reached JPY 2.7095 trillion

Hitachi reported first-quarter revenue of JPY 2.7095 trillion for the period ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 20 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to Note.com on September 23, 2026. Adjusted EBITA reached JPY 323.5 billion, with an adjusted EBITA margin of 11.9 percent, according to Note.com.

Hitachi's investor-relations page identifies the release as consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, alongside the presentation and supplemental materials, per Hitachi.

Guidance rose to JPY 11.7 trillion

The company raised its full-year revenue plan from JPY 11.1 trillion to JPY 11.7 trillion after the June quarter. Adjusted EBITA guidance increased from JPY 1.42 trillion to JPY 1.52 trillion, while net income guidance rose from JPY 850 billion to JPY 900 billion, according to Note.com on September 23, 2026.

Energy was the largest contributor to the upgrade, accounting for more than 70 percent of the upward revision in the figures reported by Note.com. That mix matters because it links the higher group outlook to demand for power-grid equipment rather than to a single reporting-period effect.

Stock remains 6.57 percent below yearly high

At JPY 5,642 on October 5, 2026, Hitachi stock stood JPY 397 below its 52-week high of JPY 6,039, a gap of 6.57 percent. The 52-week low was JPY 4,222, while market capitalization stood at JPY 25.3 trillion and trading volume reached 9,943,600 shares on the same session.

The combination of a 2.17 percent daily gain and a 20 percent first-quarter revenue increase puts the market reaction alongside a materially higher full-year revenue plan. Hitachi's operating picture is therefore being measured against both the JPY 11.7 trillion guidance figure and the JPY 6,039 yearly high.
