Daio Paper Corporation (ISIN JP3440400004) reported revenue of JPY 161.16 billion and a net loss of JPY 0.46 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 ended June 30, 2026. The figures put cost pressure and profitability ahead of sales growth in the investor debate, while Daio Paper stock was trading at JPY 939.00 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026.

Revenue meets a weaker profit picture

JPX Market Explorer reports Daio Paper revenue of JPY 161.16 billion and a net loss of JPY 0.46 billion for the latest quarterly period identified on its company report page. Finance data for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 show operating income of JPY 1.50 billion and basic earnings per share of minus JPY 3.00.

The comparison is stark: the company recorded net income of JPY 0.07 billion in the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2026, before moving to a JPY 0.46 billion loss in the June quarter. For investors, the revenue base is holding up while earnings conversion is the more important number to track.

Full-year targets set a higher bar

According to JPX Market Explorer on August 11, 2026, Daio Paper expects first-half fiscal 2027 sales of JPY 327.50 billion, operating profit of JPY 4.50 billion and profit attributable to owners of the parent of JPY 5.00 billion.

Its full-year guidance is JPY 680.00 billion in sales, JPY 24.00 billion in operating profit and JPY 12.00 billion in profit attributable to owners of the parent. The full-year sales target is 107.63 percent of the first-half target, leaving the second half responsible for JPY 352.50 billion in sales under the published plan.

The same guidance includes a JPY 7.00 dividend per share for the second quarter and JPY 7.00 for the full fiscal year, matching the prior-year quarterly and annual payment levels cited by JPX Market Explorer.

Stock trades below its yearly high

Daio Paper stock was trading at JPY 939.00 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 1:37 p.m. JST, down 0.95 percent from the prior close of JPY 948.00. Its 52-week range was JPY 813.00 to JPY 1,244.00, while market capitalization stood at JPY 144.8 billion on the same date.

The current quote is 24.52 percent below the 52-week high and 15.50 percent above the 52-week low. That positioning leaves the stock closer to its yearly low than its high, while the quarterly loss gives the guidance assumptions a central role in the next valuation discussion.
