Hoya stock was at EUR 143.65 in pre-market trading at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026. The company had announced on October 9, 2026, that it would transfer its U.S. ophthalmic-surgical-instrument subsidiary MID Labs to Bausch + Lomb, with completion scheduled for November 2, 2026.

Three events shape the story

On April 30, 2026, Hoya reported fiscal 2026 revenue of JPY 947.749 billion, up 9.40 percent from the previous fiscal year, while net income rose 24.60 percent to JPY 251.451 billion, according to Investalk.

On July 31, 2026, first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue reached JPY 255.7 billion, up 16.00 percent year over year, and profit from normal business activities reached JPY 82.4 billion, up 24.00 percent, according to Note. On October 9, 2026, the company disclosed the planned sale of all MID Labs shares to Bausch + Lomb, as M and A Online reported.

What does the transfer change?

MID Labs generated JPY 5.37 billion in revenue and JPY 790.0 million in net income during fiscal 2026. The transaction value was not disclosed, so the immediate financial effect cannot be measured from the announced terms.

The business makes instruments used in vitreous surgery for retinal disease and trauma-related blindness. Hoya acquired MID Labs in 2019, but the October 9 announcement said the transfer reflects changes in the external and business environment. The planned disposal therefore puts portfolio discipline beside the companys recent growth in semiconductor and data-center materials.

Margin quality matters next

Information and Communication generated JPY 101.0 billion in first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue and JPY 55.6 billion in profit from normal business activities, implying a 55.05 percent margin. The analysis by Note said a tariff refund lifted the reported margin and that the figure excluding this one-off effect was 54.00 percent.

That distinction matters because Hoya is investing JPY 42.0 billion in a new EUV factory and JPY 50.0 billion in a new HDD factory, with operations planned during fiscal 2028. The next test is whether higher-value products and customer additions offset depreciation as capacity expands.

Dates for the next review

The MID Labs transfer is scheduled for November 2, 2026, according to M and A Online. Hoya also lists an October 9, 2026 transfer notice in its investor-relations news, alongside first-quarter materials dated September 25, 2026, on its HOYA investor-relations page.
