Itochu secures a 51 percent Taiwan dealer stake while its stock traded at EUR 13.47 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. CET. ITOCHU Corporation announced the transaction on October 23, 2026, adding a new customer-facing link to its Hitachi Construction Machinery partnership.

The Taiwan entry expands the chain

ITOCHU will acquire 51 percent of Yungtay-Hitachi Construction Machinery, while Hitachi Construction Machinery retains 49 percent. The target operates four locations in Taiwan and reported net sales of TWD 1,572 million for the fiscal year ended December 2025, according to the company release.

The transaction is ITOCHU's first dealership entry since its capital alliance with Hitachi Construction Machinery in 2022. The company increased its equity stake in Hitachi Construction Machinery to 33.4 percent in April 2026, creating a broader path from equipment supply to sales, services, rentals and financing.

Three steps shaped the story

On August 3, 2026, ITOCHU reported Q1 2027 revenue of JPY 3.8759 trillion and net income of JPY 293.8 billion, according to MarketBeat. On October 9, 2026, it announced a 20 percent stake in Aspirant Group, according to MarketScreener.

The October 23 Taiwan announcement is the latest of those three steps. It also fits the company's downstream strategy, because ITOCHU plans to participate in sales and service operations rather than only supplying equipment.

What comes next for earnings?

ITOCHU's investor-relations page says fiscal year 2026 ended with consolidated net profit of JPY 900.3 billion, core operating cash flow of JPY 940 billion and return on equity of 15 percent. The next reporting date is November 4, 2026, when the company will announce FY2026 second-quarter results at 1:00 p.m. JST, according to ITOCHU Corporation. MarketBeat lists the same date and a consensus revenue estimate of USD 25.34 billion.

Itochu stock was trading at EUR 13.47 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. CET, while the company's market capitalization stood at JPY 16.5 trillion as of the same date. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Itochu stock.
