Hoya stock (ISIN JP3837800006) was last at JPY 25,135 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, down 0.65 percent from the prior close. The company also published a share repurchase status update dated October 1, giving the stock a concrete corporate event alongside the daily market move.
Buyback update meets stronger earnings
Hoya lists the October 1 notice among its latest investor-relations releases. The update follows the company's fiscal first-quarter results, which cover the three months ended June 30, 2026, and place capital returns beside a period of double-digit operating growth.
According to Shumikabu, fiscal Q1 revenue increased 16.0 percent year over year to JPY 255.742 billion. Operating profit rose 30.0 percent to JPY 82.626 billion, while net income advanced 26.9 percent to JPY 65.791 billion.
Information and communication leads growth
The segment mix explains why profit expanded faster than sales. Information and Communication revenue reached JPY 100.954 billion in fiscal Q1, up 22.7 percent, while segment profit climbed 27.8 percent to JPY 55.615 billion, according to Shumikabu.
Life Care remained the larger sales business, generating JPY 154.788 billion and segment profit of JPY 29.984 billion in the same quarter. The figures leave Hoya exposed to different demand cycles, from optical and medical products to semiconductor and data-storage materials, but the faster-growing information business supplied the stronger profit contribution.
Consensus stays above the market price
MarketScreener shows a Buy consensus from 16 analysts, with an average target of JPY 30,200. That target lies 20.2 percent above Hoya's JPY 25,135 price on October 7, 2026, a quantified gap that keeps earnings execution central to the valuation discussion.
Stockopedia lists Hoya's fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, revenue at JPY 947.749 billion and identifies June 30, 2026, as the latest interim period. Its company profile places the shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and classifies the business in healthcare equipment and supplies.
