Lasertec stock carries a JPY 290.0 billion FY2027 revenue outlook, up 25.8 percent from JPY 230.5 billion in FY2026. The rebound depends on orders that rose 125.7 percent to JPY 237.5 billion for the fiscal year ended June 2026.
Orders reverse the downturn
HDIN Research reported on September 28, 2026, that Lasertec generated JPY 230.485 billion in FY2026 net sales and a 45.67 percent operating margin. Revenue declined 8.3 percent from JPY 251.477 billion in FY2025, while operating income reached JPY 105.259 billion.
The order rebound changes the earnings profile. FY2026 orders of JPY 237.504 billion exceeded the JPY 105.226 billion recorded in FY2025, lifting the book-to-bill ratio from 0.42 to 1.03. The order backlog stood at JPY 322.964 billion at the fiscal year-end.
Guidance sets a higher bar
AI Today reported that Lasertec expects FY2027 operating profit of JPY 125.0 billion on revenue of JPY 290.0 billion. The plan implies operating profit growth of 18.8 percent, but the operating margin is projected at 43.1 percent, below the 45.67 percent achieved in FY2026.
That margin tradeoff is the central operating question. HDIN Research said semiconductor equipment revenue fell 17.2 percent to JPY 168.090 billion in FY2026, while services revenue increased 36.5 percent to JPY 58.646 billion.
Analyst target moves higher
Monex reported on September 17, 2026, that a Japanese large brokerage kept its Neutral rating but raised its Lasertec target from JPY 38,700 to JPY 41,800. The target revision places greater weight on the order recovery, while the unchanged rating reflects the gap between rising demand and lower planned margins.
Market value reaches JPY 3.7 trillion
Lasertec had a market capitalization of JPY 3.7 trillion on September 30, 2026, based on the Tokyo Stock Exchange listing. The company specializes in semiconductor inspection and measurement equipment, including systems for photomasks and wafers, with FY2026 headcount of 1,163 employees.
