Daio Paper Corporation stock (ISIN JP3440400004) was last at JPY 940 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 1:11 p.m. JST on October 7, 2026. The latest reported quarter combined higher sales with a net loss, keeping management's full-year targets central to the investment case.
Revenue rises while profit turns negative
According to JPX Market Explorer, Daio Paper generated JPY 161.16 billion in revenue in the quarter labeled second quarter of 2026, an increase of 1.8 percent from the comparable period. The same report shows a net loss of JPY 0.46 billion, compared with a profit per share in the year-earlier quarter.
The contrast matters because revenue growth did not translate into bottom-line earnings. The current finance statement for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 also shows operating income of JPY 1.496 billion and diluted earnings per share of negative JPY 3, figures that frame the pressure on profitability.
Guidance points to a stronger second half
JPX Market Explorer reports that Daio Paper's August 11, 2026 guidance calls for full-year sales of JPY 680.0 billion, operating profit of JPY 24.0 billion and profit attributable to owners of JPY 12.0 billion for the year ending March 31, 2027. The first-half targets are JPY 327.5 billion in sales and JPY 4.5 billion in operating profit.
The guidance implies a sizeable recovery from the reported quarterly loss. Dividend guidance remains JPY 7.00 per share for the second quarter and JPY 7.00 for the full fiscal year, unchanged from the comparable payments cited in the same August 11 update.
Analyst consensus stays at Hold
According to MarketScreener, the consensus rating is Hold from 3 analysts. The average price target is JPY 1,143.33, with a high of JPY 1,350.00 and a low of JPY 1,010.00; the average target lies 21.63 percent above the JPY 940 price.
That spread gives the stock a measurable valuation checkpoint, but the low target of JPY 1,010 remains only 7.45 percent above the current price. For investors, the key question is whether the projected full-year operating profit can offset the weak quarterly bottom line.
Daio Paper stock stays below its yearly high
At JPY 940 on October 7, 2026, the stock stood 24.44 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 1,244 and above its low of JPY 813. Trading volume was 139,100 shares, while the market capitalization was JPY 145.0 billion.
TradingView lists November 6, 2026 as Daio Paper's next earnings date, giving the guidance-to-results transition a concrete checkpoint.
