Hitachi stock reported first-quarter FY2027 revenue of JPY 2.71 trillion, up 13 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while the shares closed at JPY 5,522 on October 2, 2026. The result keeps the company positioned between expanding digital infrastructure demand and a valuation that already reflects part of that growth.

Revenue reaches JPY 2.71 trillion

According to Yahoo Finance, Hitachi generated JPY 2.71 trillion in Q1 FY2027 revenue and JPY 189.45 billion in earnings. GAAP earnings per share came to JPY 42.24, compared with a JPY 37.49 estimate, while the reported profit margin was 6.99 percent.

The year-over-year comparison is the key operating signal: revenue rose 13 percent, but earnings per share declined from JPY 51.82 in Q1 FY2026, according to Simply Wall St. The combination points to growth accompanied by pressure on profitability.

Price target rises to JPY 7,500

On October 1, 2026, analysts cited by Simply Wall St raised a Hitachi price target from JPY 7,200 to JPY 7,500. The update linked the higher valuation to physical AI infrastructure demand, data center solutions and power-grid expansion.

The target is 35.8 percent above the October 2 closing price. That gap gives the market a clear checkpoint, but the first-quarter margin of 6.99 percent shows why future growth must translate into earnings rather than revenue alone.
