Tokyo Electron stock (ISIN JP3571400005) was last at JPY 12,100 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, down 3.82 percent from JPY 12,580. The sharper market move contrasts with higher first-half fiscal 2027 guidance, which gives the semiconductor equipment maker a clear earnings checkpoint for October 30.

Guidance rises for fiscal 2027

According to Simply Wall St on October 1, 2026, Tokyo Electron raised first-half fiscal 2027 net sales guidance to JPY 1,620.0 billion from JPY 1,570.0 billion, an increase of 3.2 percent. Interim net income guidance increased to JPY 349.0 billion from JPY 328.0 billion, a 6.4 percent rise.

The same update puts interim operating income guidance at JPY 458.0 billion, compared with JPY 431.0 billion previously, while interim earnings per share guidance rose to JPY 767.51 from JPY 721.12. The guidance covers the six months ending September 30, 2026, so the October reporting date will test whether the raised targets are translating into reported results.

Analysts keep a bullish consensus

MarketScreener reported on September 17, 2026 that 23 analysts held a Buy mean consensus, with an average target of JPY 76,808.70. Its reference price was JPY 53,110 at that time, leaving the average target 44.62 percent above that reference level.

That optimism sits beside a valuation reset in a separate October 1 analysis. Simply Wall St cited a revised fair value of JPY 20,400, down from JPY 99,000. The contrast matters: earnings expectations improved, while the valuation framework became more conservative.

Stock remains below yearly high

Tokyo Electron's October 2 trading range was JPY 11,995 to JPY 12,435, with volume of 19,102,700 shares. The 52-week range was JPY 5,586 to JPY 16,252, placing the latest price 25.5 percent below the yearly high.

The company is scheduled to publish FY2027 second-quarter results on October 30, 2026, according to its investor-relations calendar. For investors, the key question is whether the raised JPY 1,620.0 billion sales target can support the premium embedded in the analyst consensus.
