Macnica stock was last at JPY 4,300 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, up 2.92 percent from the prior close. The move followed a new collaboration with Fixstars that targets AI hardware evaluation, model optimization and deployment support for Japanese companies.
AI test cuts generation time
According to Fixstars Corporation on October 2, 2026, Macnica and Fixstars used a Tenstorrent AI workstation to optimize the open-weight gpt-oss-120b model. The joint proof of concept accelerated a key matrix multiplication workload by 3.68 times and reduced per-token generation time from 144.85 milliseconds to 99.49 milliseconds, a 31.3 percent reduction.
The technical result gives Macnica a concrete role beyond component distribution. The company supplied the remote evaluation environment, model execution environment and technical support, while Fixstars handled performance analysis and software optimization, according to Fixstars Corporation.
Revenue reached JPY 1.214 trillion
Macnica's fiscal year 2026 revenue was JPY 1.214 trillion, up 17 percent from JPY 1.034 trillion in fiscal year 2025, while net income increased 9.8 percent to JPY 27.767 billion from JPY 25.280 billion. The figures are reported in the annual table published by Reuters.
The earnings mix matters because distribution revenue carries a lower margin than software and technical services. Macnica's AI infrastructure work therefore adds a higher-value support layer, while the semiconductor business continues to provide the larger revenue base. That combination links the October 2 announcement to the 17 percent annual sales increase rather than treating the collaboration as a standalone technology demonstration.
Investor dates set the next checkpoints
MINKABU reported on September 29, 2026, that Macnica had scheduled an investor event for October 6, 2026, alongside the release of the AI-friendly version of its LIMITLESS 2026 integrated report. Simply Wall St lists November 2, 2026, for the fiscal second-quarter results and December 2, 2026, for payment of the JPY 40 dividend.
For investors, the October event is the next test of whether Macnica can turn AI support capabilities into broader customer adoption. The November results will provide the next quantified check on that strategy and on the company guidance for fiscal year 2027.
