Advantest (ISIN JP3122400009) stock was trading at EUR 205.93 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 4:36 p.m. CEST, up 6.15 percent from EUR 194.00. As BigGo Finance reported on October 1, 2026, Micron Technology's stronger results and outlook renewed investor interest in AI semiconductor demand and supported buying in Japanese chip stocks.

AI demand meets fresh earnings evidence

The market reaction has a concrete operating backdrop. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Advantest generated JPY 367.47 billion in revenue, up 39.30 percent from the year-earlier period, while operating profit reached JPY 189.31 billion and net income was JPY 174.78 billion.

Phillip Nova reported on September 30, 2026 that first-quarter net income rose 93.80 percent year over year and operating profit increased 53.30 percent. The comparison matters because profit expanded faster than revenue, pointing to operating leverage in the test-equipment business.

Analyst target stays above Tokyo price

Jefferies analyst Masahiro Nakanomyo maintained a Buy rating and set a JPY 41,000.00 price target, according to Markets Insider on September 30, 2026. Against the Tokyo price of JPY 37,610.00, that target is 9.01 percent higher, although the comparison uses the primary-exchange price rather than the euro reference quote.

The company is scheduled to announce fiscal 2026 second-quarter results on October 28, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. JST, per Advantest. That report will test whether AI-related tester demand can sustain the first-quarter pace.

Stock moves toward yearly high

Advantest's primary listing is on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker 6857, with a JPY 14,860.00 to JPY 38,730.00 52-week range and a market capitalization of JPY 27.2 trillion as of October 1, 2026. The latest Tokyo price sits 2.89 percent below the 52-week high, while the euro quote reflects the German trading perspective.
