Shikoku Electric (JP3350800003) stock was trading at JPY 2,071.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 8, 2026 at 9:20 a.m. JST, down 2.56 percent. On October 7, 2026, the company launched an AI system for coal-ship planning, adding an operational efficiency angle to the utility story.

AI system targets fuel costs

According to PR Times on October 7, 2026, Shikoku Electric began full-scale use of OPTIUM, an optimization solution supplied by ALGO ARTIS, for coal-shipping schedules.

The system combines coal inventories, vessel positions, purchase and freight contracts, and port constraints. Testing indicated fuel procurement savings in the hundreds of millions of yen compared with previous plans, while the company also reported shorter planning and revision times.

Quarterly figures beat estimates

Shikoku Electric reported Q1 FY27 revenue of JPY 182.25 billion and net income of JPY 19.73 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Yahoo Finance lists GAAP EPS at JPY 96.55 versus a JPY 62.50 estimate, a JPY 34.05 beat.

The revenue figure also exceeded the JPY 169.4 billion estimate cited by Investing.com. The comparison matters because the latest quarter combines a strong earnings-per-share result with a sizable operating scale, while fuel planning remains a cost-control lever rather than a reported revenue stream.

At JPY 2,071.50, the stock was 9.88 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 2,298.50 and above its 52-week low of JPY 1,350. The market capitalization was JPY 423.4 billion, with volume at 110,100 shares at the quoted time.
