Denso (ISIN JP3551500006) stock was trading at EUR 10.40 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 4:01 p.m. CEST, up 1.56 percent versus the prior close of EUR 10.24. On October 2, 2026, DENSO said it would discontinue the planned transfer of its spark plug and exhaust gas sensor business to Niterra.

Denso keeps the combustion business

The canceled transaction covered Denso's spark plug operations and exhaust sensor activities, including oxygen sensors and air-fuel ratio sensors. According to IBTimes JP on October 3, 2026, Denso requested termination after reviewing its strategy as demand for different powertrain types lasted longer than initially expected.

The decision changes the business mix rather than removing a near-term earnings target. Denso's review points to regional differences in energy conditions, charging infrastructure and emissions rules, leaving hybrids and combustion vehicles relevant alongside battery-electric models.

Revenue rises as profit pressure grows

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Denso reported revenue of JPY 1.91 trillion, up 9.10 percent from JPY 1.75 trillion a year earlier, while net income fell 14.00 percent to JPY 67.90 billion from JPY 79.30 billion. Simply Wall St reported the figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The same fiscal 2027 outlook calls for revenue of JPY 7.75 trillion, up 2.80 percent from the prior forecast, while operating profit is projected at JPY 500.00 billion, down 9.50 percent from the previous fiscal year. That contrast makes cost control and product mix central to the next results update.

October results date sets next test

DENSO's investor calendar schedules fiscal 2027 second-quarter financial results for October 29, 2026, at 11:10 a.m. Tokyo Standard Time. The report will show whether the revenue increase is translating into improved profitability after the first-quarter net income decline.
