Murata Manufacturing (ISIN JP3914400001) was trading at EUR 37.98 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 9:11 a.m. CEST. The company had unveiled a new thermistor that reduces mounting area by 60 percent in a product release dated October 20, 2026.

According to Murata Manufacturing, the NCU01 series uses an 008004-inch format measuring 0.25 millimeters by 0.125 millimeters. The company says it matches the previous product's resistance and B-constant tolerances of plus or minus 1 percent while fitting into tighter electronic assemblies.

What does 60 percent less space mean?

The product is aimed at temperature monitoring on circuit boards in smartphones, wearable devices, integrated circuit packages and system-in-package modules. Smaller dimensions can allow the sensor to sit closer to heat-generating components, which Murata says can improve the accuracy and response of thermal monitoring.

The commercial timetable is also defined. Murata plans to begin sample shipments in October 2026 and mass production during 2027, starting with 100-kilohm and 10-kilohm resistance versions, according to the company release.

When are the next results due?

MarketBeat lists October 30, 2026 as Murata's estimated earnings date and says the announcement is expected after the market closes. Its estimates point to quarterly revenue of USD 3.52 billion and earnings of USD 0.18 per share, compared with USD 3.30 billion and USD 0.15 per share in the year-earlier quarter.

That date gives investors a nearer test of demand for Murata's components than the thermistor announcement alone. The product release supplies a concrete application milestone, while the earnings figures will show whether current electronics demand is translating into broader financial growth.

Stock price and company scale

Murata Manufacturing's structured market value was USD 80.2 billion as of October 20, 2026. Its business spans ceramic-based passive components, communication modules and power supply modules, giving the new thermistor a direct link to an established component portfolio.
