Kikkoman stock (ISIN JP3240400006) was last at JPY 1,736.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 8, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, down 0.32 percent from the prior close of JPY 1,742.00. The October 8 analyst consensus was Buy with an average target of JPY 1,889, according to MINKABU.

Consensus target reaches JPY 1,889

The consensus covered 12 analysts: four rated the stock Strong Buy, three Buy, four Hold and one Sell, with no Strong Sell ratings, MINKABU reported on October 8, 2026. The average target had risen from JPY 1,881 one week earlier to JPY 1,889, putting the target 8.78 percent above the JPY 1,736.50 reference price.

The same consensus page showed a 2027 fiscal-year revenue forecast of JPY 817.652 billion and net income forecast of JPY 65.640 billion. Kikkoman's own fiscal-year revenue forecast was JPY 799.100 billion, while its net income forecast was JPY 61.300 billion, creating a clear gap between analyst and company expectations.

Q1 revenue rises 15.0 percent

Kikkoman generated IFRS revenue of JPY 202.032 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, up 15.0 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to Smart Stock Notes on August 5, 2026. IFRS business profit increased 29.3 percent to JPY 25.256 billion, and the business profit margin improved to 12.5 percent from 11.1 percent.

Operating profit also rose 29.0 percent to JPY 24.627 billion in the quarter, while the company maintained its full-year forecast, Smart Stock Notes reported. The figures give the current valuation a stronger operating base, but the analyst target still depends on continued overseas growth.

US capacity adds a growth test

Kikkoman opened its third US production facility in Jefferson, Wisconsin, on September 18, 2026. The 240,000-square-foot plant represents an investment of USD 560 million over 10 years and is scheduled to begin shipping products in fall 2026, according to Food Dive.

The plant is designed to serve retail, foodservice and food manufacturing customers in North America. That capacity expansion aligns with the Q1 overseas growth profile, while the October 8 share price remained JPY 131.00 below the 52-week high of JPY 1,867.50.

Kikkoman stock stays below its yearly high

Kikkoman stock carried a market capitalization of JPY 1.6 trillion and volume of 4,082,500 shares on October 8, 2026. Its 52-week range was JPY 1,202.00 to JPY 1,867.50, leaving the latest price well above the yearly low but below the upper boundary.

Yahoo Finance lists November 9, 2026 as Kikkoman's next earnings date. For investors, the key checkpoint is whether overseas demand can sustain the 15.0 percent revenue growth recorded in Q1 fiscal 2027.

Kikkoman stock was last at JPY 1,736.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 8, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, with the session range at JPY 1,690.00 to JPY 1,757.50.
