Yaskawa stock was last at JPY 4,936.00 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026, with a 0.10 percent daily gain. The company heads toward its second-quarter results on October 9, a report that will test whether robotics profitability is recovering.
First-quarter sales rose 10.6 percent
Yaskawa reported first-quarter revenue of JPY 139.0 billion for the fiscal year ending February 2027, up 10.6 percent from the prior-year period, according to K N in a September 26, 2026 review. The operating result moved in the opposite direction, falling 19.2 percent to JPY 8.49 billion, while net income declined 21.7 percent to JPY 5.44 billion.
The contrast matters because demand and earnings are moving differently. First-quarter orders reached JPY 163.8 billion, an increase of 29 percent year over year, but the robotics segment generated only JPY 0.89 billion in operating profit, compared with JPY 5.01 billion a year earlier, according to K N.
October 9 is the next checkpoint
Yaskawa's full-year plan calls for JPY 580 billion in revenue and JPY 60 billion in operating profit, figures cited by K N. After the first quarter, the company had delivered 14.1 percent of the operating-profit target, leaving execution in the remaining quarters as the central earnings issue.
The second-quarter release should show whether the systems transition and European restructuring effects are easing. The comparison is demanding: the remaining operating-profit requirement is JPY 51.51 billion, or JPY 17.17 billion per quarter across the final three quarters, based on the cited full-year plan and first-quarter result.
Stock remains below its yearly high
At JPY 4,936.00, the share price stood 37.64 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 7,915.00 and 39.12 percent above its 52-week low of JPY 3,548.00 on October 6, 2026. The market capitalization was JPY 1.28 trillion, while trading volume reached 3,970,000 shares.
Yaskawa also launched the MOTOMAN-HC12 collaborative robot on August 31, 2026, with a 12 kg payload and 1,410 mm reach, according to Yaskawa. The product expands the automation portfolio, but the October results remain the nearer test of whether demand is translating into profit.
