Sotetsu stock (ISIN JP3316400005) was trading at JPY 2,459 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 9:33 a.m. JST, down 0.61 percent from the previous close. The company entered the session with first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue up 4.9 percent year over year, giving the stock a fresh earnings benchmark.

Quarterly profit outpaces revenue

According to kabutabi on September 10, 2026, Sotetsu generated JPY 78.792 billion in operating revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Operating profit increased 7.5 percent to JPY 11.936 billion, while net income attributable to owners of the parent rose 10.6 percent to JPY 8.138 billion.

The earnings mix is more important than the headline revenue increase. According to kabutabi, real estate revenue rose 11.7 percent year over year to JPY 18.76 billion, while real estate operating profit increased 31.9 percent. The figures support Sotetsu's strategy of using railway-linked assets and urban development to supplement transportation earnings.

Full-year plan tempers optimism

According to kabutabi, Sotetsu's fiscal 2027 plan calls for operating revenue of JPY 321.3 billion, up 4.5 percent, but operating profit of JPY 37.0 billion, down 4.7 percent. Net income is projected at JPY 22.1 billion, down 11.1 percent, so first-quarter growth cannot be extrapolated directly across the year.

Consensus target sits above the quote

MarketScreener reported a Hold consensus from 1 analyst, with an average target price of JPY 2,600 against a last close of JPY 2,635. The published spread was negative 1.33 percent, indicating that the consensus target was below that reference close even as it stood above Sotetsu's October 7 intraday price.

For investors, the central tension is visible in the numbers: real estate delivered double-digit profit growth in the latest quarter, while the full-year plan anticipates lower operating profit and net income. Sotetsu also had a market capitalization of JPY 236.0 billion on October 7, 2026.

Stock trades below yearly high

Sotetsu stock was trading at JPY 2,459 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 9:33 a.m. JST, within its JPY 2,323 to JPY 3,167 52-week range and with volume of 29,100 shares. The next earnings report is scheduled for October 29, 2026.
