Hoya (ISIN JP3837800006) was trading at EUR 132.75 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 9:10 a.m. CEST, up 1.80 percent versus the prior close of EUR 130.40. The move follows a strong first quarter and a higher Japanese analyst target.

Q1 profit sets the tone

Hoya's consolidated operating profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, rose 30.0 percent year over year to JPY 82.6 billion, according to Traders Web. The same report listed a first-half operating-profit plan of JPY 165.0 billion, giving investors a concrete benchmark for the next results update.

The earnings mix matters because Hoya combines its Life Care operations with information and communications products, including semiconductor mask blanks. That combination gives the company exposure to both medical demand and chip manufacturing investment.

Target rises to JPY 26,000

SMBC Nikko kept its highest rating on Hoya and raised its price target from JPY 25,000 to JPY 26,000 on September 18, 2026, according to Kabutan. The revised target is JPY 1,000, or 4.00 percent, above the previous target, while the research cited continued growth in EUV mask blanks and stronger earnings forecasts.

For investors, the next test is whether the first-quarter operating improvement can carry into the half-year figures. Investing.com lists October 28, 2026, as Hoya's next earnings date.
