Denka stock fell 1.45 percent to JPY 3,205 on September 29, 2026, in Tokyo trading at 3:24 p.m. JST. The move coincided with the JPY 50 dividend going ex on the same date, while the latest quarterly figures show a sharp rise in operating profit but a more uneven earnings mix.
Dividend date meets lower price
Yahoo Finance lists September 29, 2026, as Denka's ex-dividend date for the JPY 50 cash payment. The stock's JPY 3,205 price was JPY 47 below the prior close of JPY 3,252, with volume of 456,400 shares.
The market value stood at JPY 276.3 billion on September 29, 2026. Denka remained inside a 52-week range of JPY 2,169.50 to JPY 4,692.00, leaving the latest price 31.70 percent below the yearly high.
Quarterly profit rises sharply
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, Denka reported net sales of JPY 96.98 billion and operating profit of JPY 10.993 billion, according to Note on September 27, 2026. Sales increased 3.1 percent year over year, while operating profit rose 377.6 percent from the same period.
The same report puts first-quarter net income at JPY 2.843 billion, down 43.2 percent year over year. It also states that Denka raised its first-half operating profit forecast from JPY 12 billion to JPY 17 billion, while the interim net profit forecast stayed at JPY 0.
Analyst target stays above price
According to MarketScreener, SBI Securities upgraded Denka to Buy from Neutral on August 21, 2026, and set a JPY 4,400 price target. That target lies 37.29 percent above the September 29 price.
Denka's official investor-relations page reports fiscal year 2026 net sales of JPY 384.2 billion, operating income of JPY 26.2 billion and net income of JPY 15.7 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026. The figures provide a profitable base, but the first-half net income forecast keeps extraordinary costs central to the next earnings debate.
