Sakata INX Corporation was trading at JPY 2,620 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 11:30 a.m. JST on October 7, 2026, down 1.06 percent from the prior close of JPY 2,648. The stock's latest half-year figures show higher revenue, while the analyst consensus remains below the October market price.
Revenue rises in the second quarter
According to Investing.com in its August 7, 2026 results entry, Sakata INX reported Q2 revenue of JPY 73.91 billion and earnings per share of JPY 69.29. The revenue figure was higher than the JPY 69.2 billion estimate shown on the same results page.
The revenue comparison is the stronger signal: JPY 73.91 billion in Q2 was 8.5 percent above the JPY 68.121 billion recorded in Q1. Net income was JPY 3.38 billion in Q2, compared with JPY 3.315 billion in Q1, according to the same period summary from Investing.com.
Raw materials remain the counterweight
The half-year performance also raises the importance of cost control. A September 10, 2026 review reported that interim sales increased 12.4 percent year over year and operating profit rose 18.0 percent, while higher raw material and labor costs were expected to weigh on the second half.
That trade-off leaves price pass-through as the key operating issue. Sakata INX sells printing inks, packaging materials, digital inks and functional coatings across Japan, Asia, the Americas and Europe, so input costs and regional demand can affect margins in different markets.
Analyst target stays below market price
The consensus published by Investing.com is Neutral, based on one analyst, with a JPY 2,500 average, highest and lowest 12-month target. The target is below the JPY 2,620 market price on October 7, 2026.
Corporate visibility gained a separate boost on September 18, 2026. In its SAKATA INX release, the company said it received an AA MSCI ESG rating and was selected for the MSCI Japan ESG Select Leaders Index.
Stock stays below its yearly high
Sakata Ink stock was last at JPY 2,620 on October 7, 2026, with a session range of JPY 2,619 to JPY 2,646. Its 52-week range was JPY 2,130 to JPY 2,740, leaving the price JPY 120 below the yearly high.
