Kioxia stock (ISIN JP3236330001) was trading at EUR 97.12 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 9:21 a.m. CEST. On October 9, Kioxia announced the LD4 solid-state drive series for hyperscale data centers, giving the memory maker a product catalyst ahead of its next results.
Three dated product and market events
On August 27, 2026, Kioxia listed an investment plan with Sandisk exceeding USD 31.0 billion in Japan. The spending plan connects memory capacity expansion with the longer-term demand outlook for artificial intelligence infrastructure.
On September 29, 2026, Investing.com reported that Bernstein raised its Kioxia target from JPY 40,000 to JPY 49,000 while retaining an Underperform rating and citing competition from YMTC. The target change and the cautious rating show that NAND pricing potential and competitive pressure remain opposing signals.
On October 9, 2026, Kioxia announced its first E1.L form-factor SSD using eighth-generation BiCS FLASH QLC memory. The company said evaluation samples had started shipping to selected customers.
What does LD4 add?
The LD4 line supports 15.36 TB and 30.72 TB capacities, while its architecture can scale to 122.88 TB. It also supports PCIe 5.0, NVMe 2.0e and the Open Compute Project Datacenter NVMe SSD Specification version 2.6, according to Kioxia.
The immediate commercial evidence is still limited to evaluation sampling, so the October 12 to October 15 OCP Global Summit in San Jose provides the next product demonstration point. For investors, the relevant metric is whether the high-density design progresses from customer testing into production demand.
Revenue and reporting date
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Kioxia reported revenue of JPY 1.8 trillion and net income of JPY 842.2 billion, according to Investing.com. Revenue rose from JPY 1.0 trillion in the preceding quarter, while net income increased from JPY 407.7 billion, making the sequential comparison a central test for the next report.
Kioxia schedules second-quarter fiscal 2026 results for October 30, 2026 at 6:45 p.m. JST. The report should clarify whether the first-quarter revenue surge and the LD4 product push are translating into broader memory demand.
